BLACK
AND WHITE SKETCHES -- MERMAID ART
One of the nicest early works
(pre 1995) still available for purchase, this mermaid art
is one of the black and white sketches that belong to the
transitional period between surrealism and fantasy. This is
an original work of mermaid art. One of the ways to tell that
this particular piece of original mermaid art is an early
work (besides the date), is that there is only one pen &
ink technique in play: crosshatching. Later works usually
incorporate three (crosshatching, stippling & contourism).
A certificate of authenticity, signed by the artist, is included
with purchase.

ARTIST
NOTES:
 Alfonse
Mucha is one of my favorite artists, he was master of graceful
art deco/nouveau line art. As a very small child, I once saw
a mirror with the woman's hair was all over the place (his
trademark). I didn't realize until years later (when I rediscovered
his work) how that image has impressed me. The hair thing,
that has always been a huge part of my artwork too :)
There
is no attempt to put an ordinary or fantasy artwork backdrop
into this black and white sketch but this work comes before
any conscious attempts at surrealism have been made (although
there is already a movement that way -- notice the surreal
proportions of the sea shells <g>). This loosening up
and complete letting go of a traditional backdrop (of either
style: fantasy or traditional) is what really starts to open
the way to surreal art. Taken in context of the other artwork
created at during this time, this piece of mermaid art is
part of the actual transition into surrealism :)
