William Kentridge.

On one of my recent trips to the library, I came across a book of William Kentridge's work. Over the past few weeks, from working with ink, and monochrome and most recently animation, there has been a lot of talk about William Kentridge, so I was intrigued to get a look at his work. 

William Kentridge (born 28 April 1955) is a South African artist best known for his prints, drawings, and animated films. These are constructed by filming a drawing, making erasures and changes, and filming it again. He continues this process meticulously, giving each change to the drawing a quarter of a second to two seconds' screen time. A single drawing will be altered and filmed this way until the end of a scene. These palimpsest-like drawings are later displayed along with the films as finished pieces of art.

His drawings, most using ink, are very simple, yet very effective. I loved their print-like, yet raw and gritty quality.

This is one of Kentridges charcoal drawings of a Rhino, which reminded me of Durer's print, which I took an interest in a couple of weeks ago.
