Blue Striped Reclining Figure Drawing is an abstract‚ figurative representation of a reclining human figure made of bands of alternating‚ overlapping and thickening horizontal blue stripes․ From afar‚ the figure is bold and visible and close up‚ it is revealed to be a study of rhythm‚ negative space and precise use of marks․
Rather than continue the outlines set out by the body‚ the artist works within the blue bands’ outlines․ Some of these lines continue across the body while others are cut off or loop around it to create the illusion that the body is moving in its space․
The drawing’s light colored‚ natural toned frame helps it meet this aim and gives it a home like quality‚ making it suitable for studios‚ offices‚ bedrooms and living rooms including minimal spaces blue and white colour scheme gives the drawing impact without being overwhelming․
