Untitled (Male portraits)
— Weree, JohnsonThe men all have receding hairlines, and their Afro-textured hair is also tightly combed. The most recent male drawings have geometrically structured faces, with lozenge- or almond-shaped eyes, trapezium-shaped snouts, elliptical or oval mouths. Using straight and curved chalk lines, the face is shaped into a cubistically angular spatial form, sometimes in bright colours.
The drawings are somewhat childlike: the heads very large and wide in relation to the shoulders and the body, at least twice the natural size. The eyes are placed high in the face and far apart, with small pupils in the bright whites of the eyes, the mouths often too wide.
