Iron Skin IV

Iron Skin IV pencil on paper. This is the center drawing for a triptych called Iron Skins which will be shown at Calvin College in Grand Rapids during ArtPrize 7.   An emphasis on composition and texture, Iron Skins is a triptych of two 10" x 10” and one 14" x 20" drawings originating from small passages of an old diesel engine that sat for thirty years to rust, collect dirt, debris, and deteriorate. The outcome has more in common with abstraction-although very meticulously and realistically drawn in pencil. The uncommon subject matter challenges the viewer on the core meaning of beauty.

I have a great venue once again for ArtPrize, - Calvin College the curation of the show was amazing www.artprize.org/calvin-colleg…
