Fumée 19B7 by Etienne GROS
Smoke Drawing: A unique technique where Etienne Gros uses the flame of a candle or oil lamp to create shapes on paper. In his smoke works, the material (the carbon deposit left by the flame) conveys evanescence and lightness, reinforcing a soft and ethereal sensuality. The swirls created by the flame evoke a fluid movement that mimics the curves and folds of the body.
