I was introduced this week to the drawings of Angela A'Court by Nancy (below). I was immediately curious to take a look when she said A'Court's treatment of the pastel medium was contemporary and fresh. I could not conjure up what this would look like in my mind as I don't see a lot of contemporary pastel drawing around.
I was so excited when I pulled these up. The way the pastel is handled with bold lines and blocks of color is beautiful. I also like the way that with a few objects she is able to manipulate the sense of space and placement of objects, things are able to float around so freely.
Here are a few great words from her statement on her process:
"I gather my visual language from the grace of everyday ordinariness, private worlds, unguarded moments, the unsaid - the remnants of human presence. I paint what makes me curious and seek to render the truest emotional response that drew me in to stop and take note."
