A gesture study of Jes done at Todd Leninger’s. I like to paint a few quick poses on a canvas or board as a warm up exercise. I wipe them into the surface or just build them up as the session progresses. Jes is a rock climber and very limber, she held this pose for about 15 minutes. It captures her energy quite nicely.
"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."
