Study for Bride of Frankenstein and Study for Frankenstein [Two Works]
2009
This diptych presents two charcoal figure studies rendered in black against neutral backgrounds. The left panel depicts a frontal standing figure with hands positioned on hips, displaying classical contrapposto. The right panel shows a crouching or bent figure in profile, captured in a dynamic, tensioned pose. Both works demonstrate careful attention to human anatomical form and musculature through bold, expressive charcoal work.
