Kylis Winborne Veteran Series Kylis Winborne's series of portraits are reminders of the direct power of the artist's hand. With strength and emotion in the multi-layers of line and color Winborne captures the essence of his Veterans, these people with tremendous stories to tell. The portraits pull no punches. Though they are finished works, they are also sketches. Drawing is more ephemeral than painting.
Drawings consist of dust clinging vicariously to paper.
They don't posses the permanence or architecture that imbues painting. These drawings are especially exciting to me because they are transitional works. They point to possibilities. Like Schiavone, Irene Liotis is inspired by vast potential. The eraser is as much a partner in liberty as the charcoal, forming light positive markings in dark negative space or allowing a fresh change in mind or direction.
