“Someone suggested I should do another ‘Tresses’ drawing with a skinnier person as the subject because, in their words, ‘it would be much more beautiful’.”K. Britton’s ‘Tresses’ (graphite, white charcoal, acrylic paint on toned paper) is a true labour of love. The artist worked over 3,5 months creating this powerful piece expressing their identity and “how bizarre femininity makes me feel as an AFAB non-binary person”. In a recent repost, K.Britton adds another context to the drawing: “An undertone of my work is to show fatness in a neutral/surreal/beautiful way. The idea that someone would comment and say that my drawing would be much more beautiful with a skinny person in it is actually this great irony because that is exactly what I’m combatting in my work.”—#beautifulbizarre #nonikbritton #kbritton #drawing #graphite #charcoal #surrealart #darkart #inspiration #power #queerart #art #newcontemporary #visualart #contemporaryart -- source link
