William Kentridge

MUSIC BOX TONDO, 2006Limited Edition from The Magic FluteArchival pigment print on Hahnemuhle German etching paper, 43.75 x 43.75 inches

William Kentridge is one of the people which figurative work inspire me enormously.His narrative charcoal movies made without an eraser.

some titles of animations are:

1.Sobriety, obesity and growing old (1991)

2. Felix in exile (1994)

3. History of the main complaint (1996)

Note:

This all does not mean that I copy his work, my work is of the same media, but not in any means comparable to what we both make.

Charcoal is probably the oldest, or one of the oldest, art materials. It was, after all, what our pre-historic ancestors used while drawing on cave walls! It's ease of manufacture and use make it an essential tool for all artists. Charcoal is an impure form of elemental carbon made by burning selected woods in anaerobic conditions (little or no oxygen), hence, it is chemically fairly simple and stable over millennia. While other art materials may have greater color saturation than charcoal, few will last as long!
