Early Works

Artworks Richard Kilroy

What I admire most about Richard Kilroy's work is not the photo-realistic simulation of strands of hair, light and shadow. Instead it is the instinctive, gestural drawing that is capable of presenting the essence of an appearance.

Voyeurism 1956

Artworks Andy Warhol

Comparatively little attention has been paid to Andy Warhol's minute drawings. Pure portraits with a great sense for reduction. No need for pop colour schemes and endless repetition. Just the beauty of simplicity.

Three Drawings

Artworks Unknown, Jean Cocteau, Theo Firmo

Thin lines creating three-dimensionality. Implicating interactions of the male body and investigating on their physique. Reduced to a minimum of means while simultaneously creating layered meaning.

Inverted Curve

Top Herb Ritts
Bottom Ellsworth Kelly, 1959

The work of two iconic artists peacefully united. Diametrically opposed to each other. The human and inhuman. The line, the black surface, the inner and outer border. Perversion and inversion.
