Original artwork description:

This is part of a series of pictures using close ups of dancers in dramatic poses. I am happy that the effect of strong shapes and discordant cropping creates a powerful image full of drama and dynamism.

The 'gouged' surface of the torso against the flat background creates a sense of relief and texture that is hard to ignore.

Materials used:

Charcoal and acrylic paint
