Still Pictures uses light as unifying element in drawings

Who
Jeff Kimbler, MFA thesis candidate in Drawing and Painting at the ASU Herberger College School of Art

What
Kimbler's show consists primarily of black and white charcoal drawings in the still-life tradition with contemporary references, but inspired by 17th-century European works.

Kimbler's subjects incorporate everyday objects, ranging from candy and other food items, to clothing, electronics and personal possessions.

His work presents a strong focus on interior spaces and isolation. Regardless of the objects represented, light remains the universal and unifying element of all the pieces, creating in each a quiet drama and emphasis on contemplation.
