Portrait of Kangaroo No. 56 Drawing

Portrait of Kangaroo No. 56 is a large drawing from my 4th solo exhibition held in Jan. 2020 under the title of 'Portrait of Kangaroo'. This drawing is of a young eastern grey joey (baby) reclining in her mothers pouch with her front paws crossing her hind legs'. I'm very happy with this piece considering the complexity on this scale. My drawing style is simple but expressive. At a distance, my style gives the impression that it’s highly detailed drawing, yet that is not the case at all. If anything, it’s a fast nervous gesture of energetic lines, washed, patterns, doodles and whatever else happens. Yet, it happens under control. I like to work on a large scale as this offers the capacity of full-arm movement. I love exploring line in motion. Each line/mark always has a begging point and an endpoint. Some end with a solid hard black aggressive brick wall while others wisp away into infinity like the transient flick of a whisker seen while the animal is eating or curiously sniffing the air. I also love the sterility of large plain white space against the chaos of fast black drawing. I enjoy capturing time in motion. *Plz be aware that the price of this drawing includes, frame, crate construction, professional packaging and freight from my studio in Australia.
