Danielle Kenyon-Untitled...


These 3 ink paintings are an amazing presentation of the human body in some of its forms. Danielle Kenyon looked at human manipulation through contortion and these 3 pieces delicately present that. Her gentle use of subtle colouring makes these pieces look real and strong, like the positions shown. The positions shown in these ink paintings must take a lot of hard work, time and practice in achieving the unusual stands. I like how Danielle Kenyon keeps her colour palette minimalistic, the drips of ink work well with the posers shown, she creates areas of depth and detail by adding highlights and shading to the body and not over-doing the shading. She limits the detail by not adding features to the faces which would work for me because I’m terrible at drawing faces.
