Figure with Bent Leg

Dave Ashford

Created 19 May 2026 at 17:01

Executed in bold, unbroken line, this drawing arrives at figuration through gesture rather than description. A sweeping arc establishes the torso and raised knee while a secondary cluster of marks - denser, more agitated - resolves into what reads as a shoulder or turned head. The asymmetry between these two zones, one fluid and one pressured, generates a productive tension that keeps the eye moving across the white ground.
