  Charcoal

  Lines dance with emotion and shadows whisper tales of the human experience. Our Charcoal Drawing collection is not just art; it's an exploration of the artist's evolving expressive style that weaves together the ethereal and the visceral.

   

  Each piece bears the unique imprint of the artist's expressive journey, embracing Expressionistic elements that elevate the drawings beyond mere sketches. The fluidity of the artist's evolving style manifests itself brutally, creating an intimate connection between the observer and the artwork.

   

  Every charcoal drawing in our collection is adorned with a printed monogram, a signature as personal as the artist's creative fingerprint. Signed and dated, each piece is a testament to the dedication and passion infused into every creation.

   

  Be made aware by the habitually large size of these drawings, of a deliberate choice that amplifies the immersive experience. The artist's tension lies not just in scale but in the commanding use of descriptive lines that breathe life into the tonal complexities, creating a dynamic interplay between light and shadow.

   

  Witness drawings, where life unfolds vivid on the paper as a powerful reaction to the modern dismissal of life drawing. Our artist resurrects the timeless tradition of capturing the human form, reminding us that the essence of the human condition is expressed through the strokes of charcoal.

   

  Conflictive and uneasy emotions, where each drawing is a doorway to the artist's soul. Explore our Charcoal Drawing collection and become part of an artistic journey that transcends time and resonates with the profound echoes of the human experience.

  Line Art

  The line drawings are habitually on a small scale and drawn quickly. They are gesture drawings that I make as a prelude to charcoal drawings that are drawn on a larger scale.

  The Printmaking is on a larger scale. Normally based upon original line drawings from life room studies. The Printed Line Art is not 'slick' commercial line art. It is about the quality and value of line in itself. The line characteristics are descriptive. The lines are not regular. It is not a graphic image. It is a descriptive drawing.

  About Us

  Welcome to kbyne.com, an artist’s website.

   

  Here, our collection of figurative charcoal drawings, ink line sketches, and limited-edition silk screen prints embody an amusing dichotomy—a juxtaposition of the brutal and the basic, the subtle and the delicate. Each artwork is a testament to the artist's attempts to navigate the complexities of just getting by, drawing inspiration from the stark contrasts that define the human experience.

   

  What emotions can be captured in the bold strokes of charcoal, where the rude force of the brutal marks meets the page. A figure emerges from the shadows, its form sculpted by the hand’s movement, evoking a sense of primal power and raw energy. These pieces speak of the fundamental aspects of existence—the basic, unfiltered truths that lie at the core of our perception of reality.

   

  Yet, alongside this raw intensity, you'll discover the subtle nuances that weave through each work. In the intricate lines of our ink drawings, delicate details emerge like whispers against the stark background. Here, the artist invites you to explore imperfect representations of perfect intentions found in the quiet moments—the subtle interplay of light and shadow, of form and void.

   

  Our limited-edition silk screen prints, produced in exclusive runs of just ten, offer a glimpse into a world where the crude and basic hand-built equipment and the pure colour of water-based inks converge. Each print is a recording of a struggle towards precision and artistry, capturing the essence of creation and compromise. The journey that links a pure idea from the mind of our artist to a flawed and compromised reality. The struggle!

   

  You'll find that each artwork holds layers of meaning, each step in the process is a jump away from the original concept. Each action is an adventure where too much could be lost and the final result is waiting to be discovered. Many pieces bear notes on their backs—lines from poems, phrases from books—adding a poetic dimension to the visual narrative. These hidden cues offer glimpses into the artist's inner world, where the power of words meets the evocative force of art.

   

  Imagine owning a charcoal drawing that speaks of the primal instincts within us all, its stark lines a testament to the brutal truths we often confront. Turn it over, and you might find a line from Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry, hastily scrawled: "For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror."

   

  Or perhaps you're drawn to an ink line piece that captures the dance of light and shadow in a timeless embrace. On the back, a verse from Pablo Neruda's love sonnets, echoing the delicate interplay of passion and restraint: "In you everything sank! On you everything rises!"

   

  At kbyne.com, we invite you to immerse yourself in the duality of the human experience—a world where the brutal and the basic intertwine with the subtle and the delicate. Each artwork is a reflection of life's multifaceted nature, inviting you to explore, contemplate, and discover that ‘All is perspective’.
