Another small drawing experiment alongside the main project. It is of a group of stones under the water at a beach in Limassol. Each horizontal series is a different interpretation of the same subject. I have as usual shown the split images as progressions.
The main project while in Cyprus is a twelve part frieze which I will show on here later. Probably after I have returned to England and edited the images to a manageable size.
In the meantime I have made a few ink drawings in contour line only. An example is shown here.

Anna Georghiou is a half English, half Cypriot painter who is doing her MA at the Cyprus College of Art in Limassol. Her work is typically Cypriot yet she has her own individual style. Most of the modern Cyprus art I have seen so far has a very painterly quality to is. But this particular artist uses line to enhance this painterly quality to good effect.
She was shortlisted for the Celeste prize last year.
