Dominic Keshavarz Dominic makes pen and ink drawings of landscapes in his the local area around Faversham, Kent. He was the winner of the Bowyer Drawing Prize with the New English Art Club 2018. ‘The subjects of the pictures aren’t necessarily the most important thing. I’m more interested in evoking a feeling in the viewer – trying to communicate how I felt in the landscape through the drawing. I use a stippling technique (small dotted marks) to build up areas of tonal variation. In some ways it’s a bit like a sculptural process as I’m carving out areas of shadow and light in order to create a representation of a space’ Work is available to buy from Lilford Gallery in Canterbury and Excelsior Art website.
