These are drawings from 3 years ago when I was preparing for my exams. My mom found them when cleaning the house:)
I would like to say thank you to Low_ProFiL9 for teaching me about the smudge tool in photoshop. Thanks! (Yes, folks, I'm constantly learning).
I have given this character to my good friend, JAR64. He has now every right to use and edit him however he wishes to.
Enjoy!
paper, pencil. 2006
To be honest, I rarely pick up a pencil.
In general, I rarely take something in my hands - my hands are usually busy ) This is my drawing of the Amur tiger for the children's edition of National Geographic in 2006 after my trip to the Far East. When I don't have a suitable photograph, drawings from a travel diary come into play.
As a child, I thought that a man should cook well, understand whiskey and wines, be able to fight and shoot decently, ride a horse, master fine art skills and be liked by women )
Oh, and dress impeccably for this ! ))
Much of this list turned out to be useful, but my lifestyle challenged the style of clothing ) but the ability to draw somehow took root
Vilhelm Hammershoi ranks among the pre-eminent Scandinavian artists from the turn of the twentieth century. At once traditional and avant-garde - maintaining a self-conscious dialogue with the artistic traditions of his homeland while being thoroughly conversant with contemporary European trends
- Hammershoi helped redefine modernism, both in terms of its aesthetic quality and geographic range.
He was first and foremost a painter of interiors - of hushed, near-deserted spaces populated by a solitary, seemingly spellbound figure. Contemplative and hauntingly still, these scenes comprise the majority of his oeuvre and are the works for which the artist is best known.
Landscapes, however, also played a central role in Hammershoi's art. This sheet is a magnificent example of the artist's unique approach to the genre, where strangeness and silence prevail, and space and line defy all expectations. The work is a precise preparatory study for the central
portion of a large-scale painting. . . .Hammershoi worked meticulously on
each individual tree, deftly defining the structure of the trunk and crown, establishing its precise position in relation to the road and imbuing it with a particular personality.
While "Group of Trees" depicts a deserted-looking thoroughfare flanked by trees, the Royal Road was in actual fact one of Copenhagen's busiest arterial roads. Unlike his Nordic contemporaries Hammershoi eschewed Romantic notions of pure nature untouched by civilization and instead transformed populated areas into desolate, barren landscapes seemingly abandoned by humanity. A sense of alienation and disquiet pervades his work.
Despite the low horizon and resulting high sky in this drawing, there seems to be a total absence of air or atmosphere - an emptiness all around. The grouping of trees, suspended in time, is a microcosm of the world, their seriality suggesting infinite expansion. And yet there is a claustrophobic quality to the scene.
Equally unconventional in "Group of Trees" is the distance between the scene and the beholder: no one has ever perceived and painted a Danish landscape that way before. The road is no longer as it traditionally was: a route into the internal space of the picture, a powerful source of connection. Here it runs parallel to the sheet - there is no way in. For Hammershoi, the work of art no longer served to mediate between humans and nature, but rather emphasized the distance between them.
