The Male Nude - Drawings & Paintings
Nudification - Expression
Academic studio poses are often the beginning bases of further figurative exploration as well. They can then transcend into a state of cohesion addressing nudification in the pioneering of the unexplored, with manipulation by the artist and his dexterity and the uncontained passion, but spirited generosity, of the model... thus a presentation of flourishing works of art that bolster from a launching pad into tumultuous eruptions... are delivered from the etude. Under these auspicious declarations the formula for a completed life drawing of the naked figure is at the hands of internal inspiration, external exploration and deitization of creativity.

The Poet
40 x 25
A facial expression that is somewhat forlorn is projected amidst sparks that fly off the figurative form only to congregate into the total atmosphere that feeds back to the pose and into the flesh from whence it was concieved.
Youth - Clouds Piece
30 x 22
The golden fleece is in demonstration as a youthful boy. The warmth and glowing pallet of signing rays of sunshine bounce in playful harmony through his formand with conscious diligence it encapsulates the surrounding aura.
The Last Shot
38 x 50 (graphite 6B, 8B pencil)
Interwoven crosshatched pencil/graphite lines employ a range of values and tones to depict the essence and formulate the thrust and weight of the pose. Enticing precise draftsmanship and selective detailed rendering take the stage as the elongated torso and its elastic form are molded out from the hidden genitals until it placidly rests at the buried head.
Twilight Tones
40 x 26
In a carefully constructed statuary format, with the weight of marble or stone, the one unit pose has intentionally divided itself into two sections. There is a dramatic outer curtain of color that ‘sweeps-into’ and is ‘echoed-out-of’ the male nude form.
Slowly Sliced Open And
Skinned By One Single
Edge Razor
50 x 36
The congregation of spatial reality pays homage to the male model as he and his masterization of his pose becomes the final ‘altar’. There is a velocity and unconventional neurotic twisting that dominates the life form.
