Public Faces
Conte Crayon on paper. This one is inspired by my favourite work, “Collins Street at 5 pm” by John Brack. I was thinking of Flinders Street/ Spencer Street Stations when I drew this. I just used to get lost in the human sea of faces that use to flow up and down Melbournes Streets and they conjured up all sorts of feelings and emotions.
Public Faces belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Art from the Workplace, Behind the Mask and The Urban Environment Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Thanks guys, this was my first work from a long spell of drawing from childhood, it got me back into the swing of things. It was done with pastels and has a bit of a special place for me.

Such cool work!
Conrad Stryker
I dig those faces. They’re like something out of ‘The Twilight Zone’.

This piece is wonderful. I love multi-dimensional work with a message. This otherworldly abstract has an important message about how people present false selves in public. Unfortunately this also occurs in intimate relationships that often are constructed to avoid attachment and genuine love. Your graphic representation of this concept is outstanding. I look forward to seeing more of your amazing work. I also see many faces in my abstract photography using nature’s elements like bark, rocks, plants etc. that feels like I am painting with my camera. I love the powerful impression your exceptionally imaginative and creative artwork.

WoW! I love this! This is a subject I often write about, the sometimes difficult reconciliation between our private and public selves. How serendipitous!

how true

This is a clever concept, and so true. Many people are putting on a mask in public hiding their true selves: their secrets or their darkness. They either want to look good in front of the public, or hide their problems in order not to worry those around them. Sometimes the well known public places with the most people are actually places where people feel most lost; even if they are not literally lost. Thay may know where they are, but they don’t know where their heart it.

Great concept K – very well done

Thanks everyone.

I love this for the way its surface and depth of meaning contrast: seemly join with both a naked simplicity and hidden profound clarity. The norm of masking. The facade of social faces bought and sold.
C.C. Arshagra
It also brings to mind that ago old unsettled resolve of a cliché. “Its not personal, it’s business. You understand.” (?) You have capture a truth exposed here—and here it is very well done!
