FREE SHIPPING Shipping takes 3–4 Weeks This ships from San Carlos, California (The San Francisco Bay Area). I use UPS and sometimes US Post.
This is another bathroom scene in my Self Directed series. I'm taking account of myself, where I am, and taking the temperature. An ordinary daily routine becomes a way of looking at my body and considering where I am in my life.
The bathroom takes up much of the drawing. The shower enclosure, tile, doorway, and fixtures give the figure a fairly structured setting. The straight lines and repeated rectangles surround the curves of my body. The dark marks around the room also set off the lighter space of the shower, drawing attention to the figure without isolating him from his surroundings.
These self portraits are also studies. I'm looking at my figure anatomically and formally, trying to understand it well enough to make better paintings. Here, overlapping crayon marks build up the shadows, while contour lines describe the body and the objects around it. I'm interested in how much those visible marks can do, and which of them I might leave exposed in a painting. Taking stock of myself and experimenting with drawing are happening at the same time.
