Kevin Francis Gray — Greek Girl (Pencils)
Kevin Francis Gray

Greek Girl (Pencils)

2019

A delicate plaster figure is adorned with intricate markings of coloured and graphite pencils, their soft, hand-drawn lines contrasting with the solidity of the sculptural form. Kevin Francis Gray suspends the work on a bronze pin above a wooden base, creating a sense of fragile weightlessness that echoes the ephemeral nature of drawing itself. The piece blurs the boundary between sculpture and mark-making, transforming the human figure into a surface for intimate, almost tender, artistic inscription.
