One of our star writers, John A. Parks, recently turned in an article on
Fred Hatt, an NYC artist who draws with waxy, water-soluble crayons from Caran d'Ache....but also with colored light and various other media, always with an amazingly vibrant line that quivers with life. The best way to describe his
figure drawings is to simply present
links to a few of his
pieces. You'll get it right away
this way.
The article discusses Hatt's figure drawings, but his monumental heads are just as interesting. Note how he follows the underlying shapes in some areas, follows the surface forms in others, and suggests a topographical map in other cases.
You should know that most of these drawings are at least five feet tall.
The article on Hatt's artwork will appear in the Spring 2009 issue of Drawing magazine.
