Man At Night

Man At Night was a life drawing study completed during my Honours studies at Edith Cowan University in 2016. Taking inspiration from the immediate pen and reed drawings from Rembrandt, the expressive line-work of Giacometti, and others, I created a body of work exploring the vein of Existentialism through figurative and portraiture studies from life.
