London-based artist Joe Fenton continues to mesmerize us with his skilled hand and imaginative mind at work on the latest addition to his ongoing series titled The Landing. The artist has just recently completed the second and biggest panel of his large-scale triptych. The first two of his three-part drawings feature his signature monochromatic style in graphite on paper.
Fenton's tri-paneled project is meticulously crafted by hand. There is an unbelievable level of detail that brings each window of surrealism to life. The artist's creative cast of characters fill each frame, leaving the viewers' eyes to wander and get lost in the medley of activity.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a
conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the
last one:
What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times.
She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?
