A number of drawings by Los Angeles-based artist Hannah Motzel Brown. Brown studied illustration at Minneapolis School of Artwork and Design. Working primarily with graphite, she provides an introspective evaluation of domesticity and the pure world, observing an area between realism and fantasy. Brown makes use of reference pictures in addition to her personal reminiscence and creativeness to create extremely detailed pictures that really feel intimate, quiet, and reflective.
“I’m always transferring by means of life with a watch out for one thing stunning—a light-weight crammed glass, a playful shadow, an attention-grabbing texture or vibrating sample. Pulling these moments into the work animates the drawings with wealthy moments from life, inventing areas and situations the place I’m capable of observe and replicate on the female expertise. Moreover, working with graphite and in greyscale appears like a rewarding problem—the payoff is large for a really slowly constructed picture. I just like the binary of sunshine and darkish: pinning down the lightest and the darkest level, then inventing an entire world in between the 2.”
