This stripped helmet does reveal the kind of beauty that any object related to mankind has, and yet it was an industrial product at the beginning... In this rough sketch it does not look so anymore. You can surely get a better result with a computer based drawing program, but i like to deal with the balance between the size of the object you are looking at drawing, how far you are from it, the size of your drawing sheet, and the way you stand by it, (the model), these physical aspects and the involvement from space in the process, which you do not get with your pad and virtual pencil.
The charcoal is fixed on the paper (120gr) from the back of the drawing through capillarity with a very fluid kind of varnish based on safflower oil for artists.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Conté

Colored drawing made with colored pencil, an instrument made of a small wooden stick used as a sheath for a colored mine of the same length.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

Jérôme Hémain, a contemporary French artist, found his artistic calling driven by a profound exploration of themes encompassing the cosmos, vitality, energetic fields, rhythm, growth, states of minds, evolution, self-control, harmony, and balance among the elements. This thematic richness forms the core of his creative vision, guiding his expressive journey into the intricacies of existence.

Having earned a BA and an MA of art from the Royal College of Arts and Design in London, Hémain initially dedicated himself to sculpture in free open spaces. This commitment laid the foundation for his artistic identity, infusing his practice with a tangible connection to the physical world. His transition to abstract painting marked a continuation of his inclination toward "making things," embedding the process of creation within the realm of painting.

In a more recent evolution of his artistic approach, Hémain has embraced figurative painting, drawn to its political resonance and the imperative to respond in a concrete manner to the complexities of contemporary times. This shift reflects his commitment to engaging with the world through his art, using figurative elements to convey messages and reflections on the socio-political landscape.

Jérôme Hémain's artistic journey is a dynamic exploration of form, concept, and socio-political engagement, weaving together the abstract and the figurative to create a nuanced and compelling body of work that reflects his evolving perspectives on the world.
