Shaded Eyes

Silkscreen, oil bar, graphite on primed canvas | 2018

This new body of work continues to take the basic components of the human face as a starting point and foundation. Rather than portraits of an individual, these works depict a universal expression and mood. After re-discovering a collection of old drawings, Fletcher spent some time taking things back to basics in order to build the work back up again.

Working with fat markers and big brushes, Fletcher builds up delicately balanced compositions by accentuating contrasts; soft marks meeting hard edges, heavy lines against light bursts of graphite, and rich colors against subdued tones.

The artist feels the work can be seen in two ways: playfully spirited portraits comprised of smiles, frown and nervous laughs, or, at face value as abstract compositions
