My art practice at the moment is focused around painting and I am lucky enough to be able to do a life painting class once a week, a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I be will so very sad when the privilege is gone. Life drawing is an amazing experience, the human figure is a beautiful thing that needs to be celebrated and studied.
Egon Schiele was an Austrian artist who was heavily associated with the Art Nouveau movement but it also considered an early artist involved in the expressionist movement.
I am heavily influenced by his work in my own practice and hope to create a painting of the figure that pays homage.
The intensity, twisted figures, loose mark making, neutral tones, somewhat grotesque. Worship!
