Grayness, moisture and gloom are associated with some in autumn, others with St. Petersburg, and the third always reminds of London. The British, like no one else, know the value of restraint and slowness, long conversations by the fireplace, mulled wine and hot punch, as well as long raincoats and umbrellas with wide domes. Pencil portraits of the British artist, whom the Internet knows by the name T. S. Abe … Ask who we want to surprise with pencil painting, if almost every week on the pages Culturology.ru there are more and more new masterpieces from contemporary artists who prefer a simple pencil to crayons, felt-tip pens, paints and brushes? Why be surprised at once?
To begin with, you should consider the portraits of T. S. Abe from all sides, noting that the artist is a big lover of seductive lush lips, which she gives to almost all of her characters. Then make sure that the author carefully, scrupulously draws every wrinkle and fold, every villi and eyelash on the faces of the models, as if drawing photographs of people whom she had never seen before - they were born in her fantasies. However, if you look closely, it is not difficult to catch the similarities between the portraits - some of them are autobiographical, while others the author "presented" only some features of her own face.
And you need to be surprised when the time comes to evaluate the mood, poetry, emotionality and individuality of the works of a young British woman. I suppose no one would mind that she has her own handwriting and creative style. And for those who have not seen enough - you are welcome to the artist's website. There will be something to be surprised at, to admire, to rejoice at, and to be sad, of course …
