The Male Nude

The Male Figure Focus as Life Drawing in Art

The male figure flourishes in these drawings and paintings - celebrating the male model from academic drawing through stages of energetic abstraction.



Preliminary study For Twin Boys
36 x 50
A singular unit as a vessel of duality as we decipher the cause and effect... the balance of the jungle of lines... the pathway of dexterity and posture of meaning.



Twin Boys About to Go At It
36 x 50
In a frolicking delivery the nude boy’s form crawls back at us embalmed by a ‘slap and paste’ painterly treatment. A spirit in motion, thus the two male figures themselves are in a wrestling encounter.



Dogdamn
30 x 50
Knurled flesh with twisted exaggerated exposure from the buttocks to the shoulders are complimented by the grasping hands that, in a claw-like manner, hold fortress to the kaleidoscope of color and golden sparks that fumigate.



The Jersey Prince And Drugs Made Me Do It
50 x 40
The actual pose of the male model is dissassembled as it reaches for the internal liability of the artist to his muse. Unselfishly it is presented as an offering in the form of a percolating skeletal naked figurative mass.



Golden Boy At The Baths
42 x 20
The first and foremost element of the drawing is the motion set into place by the action of pulling the shirt over his head. There is a very delicateand careful distribution of energy aqs the weight of the arched form finds perfect balance from the obscured face to the genitals.
