Fragment No.1
I’ve found myself leaning towards these cropped drawings more and more over the years.
The style evolved out of my cut out’ street view’ style - where I take one building and draw it in detail leaving the rest of the street as an outline.
I like the idea of simplifying the surroundings in order to focus on the details in just one building.
Last year I made this cropped drawing of a facade in Fatehpur Sikri India.
It has such an overwhelming amount of detail I thought it would be interesting to crop it even further. Zooming in and focusing the eye on the intricate details.
The result is this 5cm square.
