This is the last week to see Peter MacPhie’s exhibition of exquisite nude studies, ‘Emotional Tone’.

Today we are highlighting perhaps one of the smallest drawings in the exhibition, ‘Model and Her Sock’ (charcoal, chalk and oil pastel on paper, 47 x 24 cm, $450). The drawing displays Peter’s remarkable skills in capturing, with just a few sharp, quick and confident outlines, the pose and the kinetic energy of the model. 

Do not miss the last chance to see Peter’s exhibition before it closes this weekend. 
See http://www.quadrantgallery.com.au/peter-macphie.html for more details.

This week’s Work of the Week from Peter MacPhie’s exhibition of drawings is ‘Study # 1’ (no. 12, charcoal on paper, 66 x 45 cm, $880).

The exhibition showcases Peter’s body of work which stems from his assiduous drawing exercises in the life studios of Melbourne and Victoria. The simplicity of the drawing belies the complexity of the pose. ‘Study # 1’ is distinguished by the fluidity and quality of its lines and bold foreshortenings.

The exhibition is on view at the gallery until Saturday, 26 October.
