Marlene Lewis, Woman in Repose, 2019, Acrylic and oil sticks. Courtesy the artist. I work in paint, charcoal and ink. My work is expressionistic, with some elements of representation. I love color, and I often use inks to focus on energy and the essence of the figure. I work from life, abstracting the figure with line and color.As of late, besides painting abstract figures and landscapes, I have been doing a series of contour drawings and charcoal drawings based on the the figure.
