RJ BLANCHETTE

Philosophy

As a graphite artist, my work is a journey into the intricate dance between light and shadow, form and void. Each stroke of graphite on paper is a meditation on the delicate balance of contrasts that define our world. My art is not merely about replicating what I see but about capturing the essence and emotion behind each subject.

I believe in the power of simplicity. Graphite, with its monochromatic palette, allows me to strip away the distractions of color and focus on the purity of form and texture. This medium challenges me to convey depth, emotion, and narrative through subtle gradations and meticulous detail.
