About: Faceless subjects speak volumes in elegant, monochromatic works by London-based artist Nigel Howlett.
Submission is based on an original work from the artist’s debut solo show – The Face Before You Were Born. Each print has been intricately hand-finished with layered carbon and compressed charcoal. This detailed technique mimics Howlett's slow and meticulous drawing process of working on an original, echoing his rich monochrome palette.
“The tension of the piece lies in a paradox - the character is both captive and in a state of release”
