ALEXI K - LINE ARTIST

These figure drawings are part of my ongoing experiments with either lines or dots, using a technical drawing pen, and black ink on paper. Being a fan of Japanese art, and constantly striving for 'less is more', means that I will occasionally take a break from my rather 'hyper' colour work, and get back to basics.

These drawings are reminiscent of 3D scans, or perhaps sonar scans / seismographs. They are a tricky thing to get right, and more often that not, a piece will end up being worked to the Nth degree, to disguise a mistake. But that's what makes these intriguing to do, because there is always a point when an unexpected bit of magic happens, and the piece will suddenly come together, or display some surprising effect.
