My Personal Style on Lavis Paper
Neo Deco – 14-12-25 is a graphite pencil drawing that pays homage to the stylized geometry of the art deco era. It’s been a couple of months ago since I made my last contribution to the everlasting Neo Deco series. However, having experimented with some new sorts of realist styles I felt inclined to pick up the thread again. Frankly, I was just curious how something so comfortable as my personal style would look on this new Lavis paper. My last one, called ‘Ophelia – 08-12-25’ was a pleasant surprise and offered me new ways to render subjects. As stated, the paper is a bit grainy so it gives beautiful broken, impressionist-looking structures. On the other hand, you can rub it down to a perfect smooth finish with a blending stump. It works out for impressionism alright but how would it react to my cubist power lines?
Decorative Patterns
For this one I was inspired by a photo taken by Lucien Waléry, whose work I encountered previously. Art Deco – 11-08-22 was a drawing I made based on one of this photos. This time I had it in me to apply a bit of art deco styling. Now also through decorative patterns. What better than to do just that than on the other edges of the drawing. The reference picture at hand was perfect for that because Lucien kept a white border in his picture as well. After some cropping and calculation I drew my little art deco-like decorative fantasies. I didn’t have an initial plan. Well, maybe just a bit of counterbalancing all things straight and vertical. As a result the mid-sections in the border became roundish. All-in all I found out the Lavis paper could support both broken structures as well as my harsh, straight lines.
