Intermission
By Julia Zaremba, Norway
“Intermission” is a smaller painting of a snapshot between poses at a figure drawing session. It follows the type of nude poses that I am most drawn to: natural, cropped, and not too explicit. I prefer to leave characters and stories to the imagination, while providing the colors and shapes to jump-start the atmosphere of the scene.
In contrast to the ambiguous setting, I love to be bold with skin tones and brushstrokes. Flesh is solid and alive, and I want to show the many tiny movements and planes that create a functioning figure. Evey stroke and sigh carries significance. “Intermission” is just that: an exhale between staged stances.
