Roundism – 11-01-18 (sold)
Of late I use models lubed with a lot of oil, just like this art deco-style photograph, in order to obtain great highlights, lovely midtones and smashing darker tones, all divided by abrupt threashold values. It gives a shine to fleshy structures and therefor also body mass. This concept allows me to abstract the human figure even more because the basic atmospheric depth still will be recognizable. I wondered if I could pull it off to create sexy structures, almost not human like but just voluptuous basic geometrical forms? You decide.
