Morning After by Amy Crook

Morning After by Amy Crook

It’s a very lazy Sunday indeed for this seductive young man. I liked the loose feel of the pencils so much I left them there to add depth to the equally scribbly inks. I thought they worked with the mussed sheets and morning-after hair, adding to the playfulness of the figure’s expression.

Self Service

Self Service, view 1, by Amy Crook

It’s been a while since I posted one of these, so I thought I’d give you something fun for your Monday. Remember, if it’s fine art, it doesn’t count as porn.

This guy is arched way back, intent on servicing himself and oblivious to any curious eyes on him. He actually lives in the same household as the female figure, Catty, that I posted a few weeks back.

Self Service, approx. 8″x4″x3″ cast bronze, sold.

Urgent Grounding

Urgent Grounding by Amy Crook

Urgent Grounding by Amy Crook

One of the hardest things about art is knowing when a piece is done.

This painting started out as a quick sketch that I filled in with some messy linework in a rich forest green. I started working in the background of rich orangey gold, and then at one point I stepped back and said, you know, I think I like it just as it is. I’ve had it hanging in my living room for a while now, and I haven’t ever wanted to go back and mess with it.

Urgent Grounding, 30″x24″ oil on canvas, $899 with free shipping.

Catty

Catty by Amy Crook

Catty by Amy Crook

This piece was once described as looking like she was wearing a black rubber catsuit, though as the bronze has aged the patina’s gotten some flecks of blue-green verdigris on it that adds an unusual texture. She’s another of my little bronze people series, so the figure is about the size of a child’s doll. I always liked the way the lines of her body combined the lush, heart-shaped derriere with long, slender limbs and a smooth, featureless face to be both sensual and faintly creepy.

The person who bought it was kind enough to send me a better photo than the ones I had, since I wanted to post the whole series and not just the ones I had left.

Catty, approx. 12″ long cast bronze, sold.

Identify

Identify, detail, by Amy Crook

Identify, detail, by Amy Crook

I thought I might end Friday with a monoprint in 2 panels, a 2-by-6 inch one allowing the figure to reach past the 4-by-6 inch frame she’s in, making the whole image 6 inches square. Although this print originally had a different title, I chose to change it to “Identify” because it works on several levels. Female nudity is becoming ubiquitous in our culture, but at the same time it’s still both highly fetishized and reviled. By masking the identity of the woman in the image, she’s both reduced to an object, and protected from the viewer’s scorn. In addition, it invites the viewer to identify with the subject, to find points of commonality despite her vulnerable-yet-anonymous position.

Identify, 6″x6″ monoprint on 11″x11″ watercolor paper, $399 with free shipping.

Setting It Free

Setting It Free by Amy Crook

Just a little sketch for Saturday, an experiment in figure drawing. I didn’t feel like repeating the “reaching for the unattainable” post again, so this time I gave him something to set free. Let’s hope it comes back, and brings him some clothes.

Self Sufficient

I thought I’d shake up the week a little and post my bronze early, this time a single figure who can be interpreted as taking care of herself, or covering up against prying eyes. Or perhaps a bit of both, who knows.

She can be posed quite modestly if her back is to the audience, like this:

Or she can be quite wanton when posed differently yet:

Like so many things in life, it’s all about your perspective.

Self Sufficient, cast bronze approx. 4.5″w x 5.5″d x 4.5″h, $699 with free shipping.
