KARX-№2, Pitt charcoal on 300-g Papier, 42-x-59,4cm

  This series of drawings is part of a series of preliminary studies for the Reduction project. In these charcoal drawings, I begin to experiment with the process of reducing the portrait of a historical figure whose image has been previously selected from archives. The black background emphasizes the tension produced by these new “cyclops faces” that we somehow still recognize.
