A second drawing from the same source, the tiled facade of a building encountered on the daily walk to the studio, its interior wall tiles turned outward as a bold, decorative gesture.
Steadfast #2 returns to that moment with a different composition: the same high-contrast colour blocks, the same dynamic balance, a different arrangement of weight and space.
Drawn in Polychromos pencil on handmade cotton and linen paper, the work has a tactile richness that comes from the paper itself, its deckled edges with its irregular texture, the way it holds and softens the mark. Where the paper is left bare, it is not empty: it is an intentional part of the composition.
The Steadfast series explores the boundary between decorative and fine art, between the everyday material of a neighbourhood in flux and the considered language of drawing. Each piece in the series is a response to the same facade, seen differently.
Steadfast #2 works as a companion to Steadfast #1 or as a standalone work. Together they create a dialogue; apart, each holds its own. Either way, this is a drawing for those who appreciate colour used with conviction and paper as a material in its own right.
One of a kind, hand-drawn on handmade paper with deckled edges. Unframed.
Series: Steadfast
Medium: Polychromos pencil drawing on Handmade Cotton and Linen Paper A4
Dimensions: 21 × 29.7 cm
