Description
Back to Back is a masterful example of how the absence of colour can amplify emotion. Working solely in charcoal, the artist explores the infinite nuances between light and shadow to sculpt the figures from the paper. The use of sfumato, or soft, hazy transitions, envelops the subjects in a gentle, almost ethereal atmosphere, suggesting themes of memory, dreams, and the intangible bonds that connect us.
The composition, with its figures resting against one another, evokes a profound sense of trust and solace. It is a quiet, powerful narrative that speaks to the soul, asking us to reflect on our own relationships and the silent support systems that hold us. This piece is a testament to the power of drawing to capture the most delicate aspects of the human condition.
Artist: Sharon Till (SA1967)
