Passive and Nocturnal

To give way to one’s own self being… to belong to the gates of slumber and to still find energy in restfulness and mystery behind dark curtains… that which is behind closed eyes might find discovery in unopened chambers.

Everyman Entertains The Thought (Foreskin Removed)

[4′ x 8′] – Pencil, gesso and mixed media.

More is stated by less that’s drawn.

Readily the effeminate beauty of the male nude is quietly attested to by one long sweeping continuous line that defines the entire pose; from knee to elbow the force of the delicate rendering is pushed forth by the soft flesh color behind the figure.

The mindful absence of color in the figure adds to the intrigue… a very selective draftsmanship is humbly, and with great finesse, employed in a very strategic manner. The face, caressed by the arm and hand, maintains a smug boosting attitude more so than an expression of placidity. The genitals are cautiously rendered in careful detail.

Here I am, I am man, I am naked, this is my pose I am satisfied to expose myself.
