I think, the fact that he is using old-looking material to draw on, gives these portrait the history. I mean that it seems like old photographs of people who probably already lived their lives, and only few are still alive nowadays. The portraits make viewers wonder what lives these people lived.

The drawing keeps you wonder what object(s) it is, and what it was inspired from. Also, very well drawn details with ink. For me, it seems like a tree that was drawn from different points of view but connected together in the drawing.

I enjoy looking at the sense of movement, the artist has captured with pencil in this work. It is very rich in movement, but at the same time, very minimalistic in composition.

The idea of redrawing famous painting is very interesting. The charcoal drawing is done very realistic, and seems like a photograph, rather than a charcoal drawing. It makes more sense to recreate a very famous old painting in drawing, for it has the sense of “craftsmanship” that was put into it more than a photograph.
5. Anke Feuchtenberger
It is a straight narrative that you want to look at and figure out for yourself what is going on there. It is very dark, and has very mysterious, horror sense to it.
6. Aurore Pallet
Another drawing that has a feeling of movement and work. It is also seems like a mirror reflected composition, which adds the sense of busy, monochrome work at a factory.
7. Gregory Forstner
Very fast, minimalistic, but very real work. The artist draws Black people in charcoal, to e clear, only their portraits. I enjoy looking at the darker and lighter lines, and the shadows, that are messy, but were controlled by the artist.
8. Iris Levasseur
it is a very detailed piece, that has very interesting hint, story in it. It seems like a fantasy room with mirrors. It really captures the eyes of the viewer and makes you look longer at the art piece, examining it, and finding new details, images, reflections.
9. Julien Berthier
Very light pencil drawing of a street. It gives a sense of sunny, hot weather, but, with very personal feelings in it. The righting on the wall is the focal point of a composition. Looking at it, I wonder who was that person who wrote it, and does he/she live in one of these houses.
10. Thomas Tudoux
Very detailed and funny, in a good way, drawing. It looks like at old ink drawing, but if you look closer not he figures, you realize that they are very modern looking. For me, it seems like an illustration inspired by some kind of computer game.
