Artist of the Week, Dan Steen

Dan's compositions are well considered, complimenting his graceful forms and imploring the viewer's attention to dance around his subject matter.  His stark contrasts of colour are elegantly placed, with a discerning eye that makes the image come alive.

Make sure you look at the earlier drawings because this is where the flow starts to happen.  It is crucial to ignite the senses and abandon inhibition if one ever wants to divulge their true signature.  This is the foundation for which your structures are built, made stable, deconstructed and collaborated with your own inane sensibility. 

Artist of the Week, Kirsty Moegelein

Kirsty has a consistently strong drawing rhythm, working on top of and alongside several others, gradually building the dialogue between them.  There is often a greater sense of liberation and flow when working on such a generous platform.
Please excuse the poor quality of photos, it is a bit tricky when someone is working on such a huge roll.  

Artist of the Week, Tori Brown

It is a wonderful thing to witness someone who has been consistently drawing, have a major break through and really lay claim to their work.  To nurture their drawing language, constantly expanding little by little.  This white on black piece is incredibly invoking and ambiguous.

Last Wednesday at the Roar Drawing class our model Luna Aquatica, wore a stunning Indian headpiece that she had made from various fabrics collected on her travels.  This, and the exotic music playing, was enough to transport our drawers to a new world.  Vivid colour palettes were adopted and a playful approach embraced. I only wish I'd taken more photos!
