Sue Bryan
Kernel (Realist Black & White Charcoal Drawing of Large, Single Standing Tree)

2016

About the Item

charcoal and carbon on Arches cotton paper 7 x 10 inches unframed This contemporary finely detailed charcoal drawing on Arches paper was completed in 2016 by Sue Bryan. Born in Ireland, the artist uses landscapes from her childhood as inspiration for her current work primarily consisting of beautifully detailed charcoal drawings of trees and wooded landscapes. The artist captures exquisite detail and luminous light with the mere use of black and white charcoal and carbon. The single standing, large tree, is given a great amount of luscious shadow by the artist's mastery of the charcoal medium and the variations allowed with it's grey scale qualities. Detailed branches and clusters of shadowed leaves in dark charcoal contrast elegantly against the white background. The unframed drawing is completed on high quality Arches cotton paper. The artist's signature is located on the front, lower right corner, in black charcoal and also on the back in black ink. About the work: A native of Ireland, Sue Bryan explores the memories of youth rooted in her homeland's landscape. Employing charcoal on both paper and panel, these moody and misty studies reminds us that the water-locked terrain is not always sunny and green. Exquisite detail found in each tree branch or mass of tall grasses lining the horizon dominates the foreground. Light emulates from the background attempting to penetrate the density of opaque cloud cover. Bryan's small scale drawings convey an intimate and highly personal sense of place and belonging.

  • Beneath The Dripping Trees (Realistic Black & White Charcoal Landscape Drawing)
    By Sue Bryan
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Black and White realistic charcoal landscape drawing of a large tree in the wind Sue Bryan, "Beneath The Dripping Trees" created in 2020 22" X 30" unframed, charcoal graphite on primed arches paper 33 x 39 inches with a white frame, white 8-ply mat and non-glare glass Signed, lower right Excellent condition, Ready to hang as is This contemporary charcoal landscape drawing on arches paper was completed in 2020 by Sue Bryan. Born in Ireland, the artist uses landscapes from her childhood as inspiration for her current work primarily consisting of beautifully detailed charcoal drawings of trees and wooded landscapes. The artist captures exquisite detail and luminous light with the mere use of black and white charcoal and carbon pencil. The artist creates this tree through a blend of light and shadow that demonstrates the artist's masterful technique. Dark leaves and winding branches in black charcoal contrast elegantly against a light filled sky. The landscape drawing is complemented by a white frame measuring 33 x 39 inches. There is sturdy wire installed on the back for easy hanging. Artist Statement: "My work is drawing based. As a native of Ireland, the landscape there has certainly shaped and influenced my own history. Many of my drawings are of places that have a deep personal association for me; an endeavor perhaps to stay connected to my roots. My aim is not only to convey a sense of place and belonging, but also an attempt to capture the ineffable, to evoke a feeling or a memory, to invite the viewer to look beyond and beneath what they see. My process is one of building up tones and textures using a combination of charcoal, carbon and graphite, all of which yield a wonderful range of blacks and grays that vary in density and transparency as much as in tonality. Much of drawing’s appeal to me lies in its very constraint, in its simplification, in the reduction of nature’s macrocosm to the coal-black char of organic matter. For me, the act of drawing is an end in itself." About the work: A native of Ireland, Sue Bryan explores the memories of youth rooted in her homeland's landscape.
