Comments by David Derr on his Drawings
_COURTING THE MUSE
The main figure is transparent so that it resembles the forms of Indonesian Wayang Kulit or “Shadow Play”, a unique combination of ritual, lesson, and entertainment.
TRIUMPH
SACRED COW
This drawing is based on a photo that was taken my friend and digital artist Tom Chambers.
The other part of the inspiration comes from The Ten Oxherding Pictures by a Zen master of the Sung Dynasty known as Kaku-an Shi-en (Kuo-an Shih-yuan) belonging to the Rinzai school. He is also the author of the poems and introductory words attached to the pictures.
Have cows reached a bovine nirvana due to human domestication?
THERE'S ONE IN EVERY CROWD
Individuality is the subject of this piece
PRIMARY BODY OF EVIDENCE
SACRIFICE OF THE EGO
THE DREAM MOUND
NIGHT WING
Pen and Ink of figure kneeling on the ground and releasing a bird at night.
PETER
Pencil drawing using both hands. The figure is made of of neuron-like shapes while also feeling like a cross between Pollack and Picasso
JEANETTE
Pencil drawing using both hands. The figure is made of of neuron-like shapes while also feeling like a cross between Pollack and Picasso
