Drawing/Sociology/Art : Figuration/Flesh and the Body.

Drawing/ Being Part of Space and Time : A DISPERSION
Antony Gormley

Drawing is the most immediate way of making your ideas, sensations, and information explicit.
Euan Uglow

What do we look for from the nude today?
Drawing/Man : Oskar Schlemmer

The use of pure line compels the artist to a process of abstraction.
Energy/Tension : The Social Form of Living Flesh

To create a new intellectual image of reality

Line has an autonomous relationship with surface (a rhythmic lineation)
Rhythm is the means by which all kinds of movement are delineated.
It follows that the physiological movement of the body is rhythmically organised.

The figuration of the contemporary body through abstractions and representations.









































INTERIOR : Environment, physical and psychological realms.

INTERIORITY : SELF.

The Picture Plane
Composition, elements and scale
Context-Content-Beginnings
Relationships- Figure- Ground, becomes psychological state of a figure both becoming and entropic

All pictorial representation is an intellectual and visual organisation.
Flesh follows the physiological movement of the body and is rhythmically organised/balanced.

ANTHROPOMETRICS
THE FIGURE IN SPACE
Performative, Sociological ; Structure and Agency (Klein)(Duality)
Measurement, Reach/Movement/Proportion

Making relationships between the spatial figure and the spatial arrangements of the picture plane. Bringing the spatial figures into the system of axes of the picture space.
Schlemmer's plane and spatial prospects contain architectonic motifs, which are presented orthogonally or in exaggerated perspective.
