Description
contest: ABSTRACT AND SEMI-ABSTRACT NUDE , 14/10/23
Nude As Landscape, by VIVA Anderson. is my charcoal sketch drawing achieved at a workshop for drawing the nude, to celebrate Aboriginal Australia. His pose so reminded me of the Australian landscape. He is an Aboriginal Australian and it seems right to relate his form to his landscape. ........Just have a KIP.......his 'dreaming"...........
.
The Aboriginal population has been in Australia 44 thousand years, it is said. He is in shadowy light, as is his culture, until the time here when their Nation is recognized as 'the first settlers' of this country, by Law.

The power of your charcoal comes through with the deep tones and angular lines. The highlight behind the nude makes this image jump off the page.

VIVA, this entry encompasses so many aspects of Imitationalism theory…your metaphors taken from a real time nude study expanding into a line contour shadow are expanded into GREATER cultural and textural landscape of aboriginal STATEMENT ART. Your shadowy figure reclining against the Light of 44,000 year old realities expands to sacrifice this individual into political shadows for a GREATER anthropomorphic-cultural statement!! genius!
VIVA Anderson replied:
My Dear Laurel: firstly, Thank You for this inspiring Contest, another! Foremost: Thank you so much from my heart of hearts and soul, that YOU see this in its 'bigger' sense, historically, and, personally: for me! "genius" is so thrilling ! Thank you, immeasurably!!!, VIVA🙏
