December — Fine Art

December - 2005 United States by Will Barnet shows a quiet scene built from simple shapes and a limited range of tones. The picture reads as a measured drawing rather than a busy image.

From across the room the forms settle into a calm whole. Up close you notice the pencil work and the way each shape is held in place. The fine art print uses matte paper so the soft greys stay even and there is no shine under a lamp.

A light frame on a dark wall or a dark frame on a pale wall lets the drawing sit without pulling attention away. On a bedroom wall near the bed the shapes feel steady in the morning light. You see the small drawn lines first, then the larger forms take shape.
