Mental
29,7 x 40,5 cm
collage, pencil, pen, indian ink and acrylic paint on paper
Mental was developed as an experiment and became the first drawing of the Panopticon – cycle. I was intrigued by the idea to overlap two different emotions in one single portrait. So I reworked the collage fragment and its original expression and added a second emotion to create the unresting view which I particularly know of the ancient sphinx sculptures of the Hittite Empire and which I always adored. All pictures of the 'Panopticon' project you can find in the illustration and graphic art section at ulrikebeck.com. http://ulrikebeck.com/home/illustration-and-graphic-art/project/panopticon
