On October 6 Artmakessense will organize an online life drawing session inspired by the paintings ofKara Walker. Our beautiful Model from the United States: Inky takes on the challenge to express the strong political message of the art of Kara Walker.This summer we saw an impressive exhibition ; A Black Hole is Everything a Star Longs to Be by Kara Walker in art museum Basel, Suisse.The work touches you right in the heart. So we are very happy to have Inky channeling the essence of the art of Kara Walker.
The Model: Inky
It is the first time we have Inky modeling for artmakessenselife. We are fascinated by her strong body , her presence and personality . Inky is a professional art model for 10 years.She resides in Jacksonville ( USA) . She has has very defined yet feminine musculature, which is always great for artist to draw and paint. And Inky loves the powerful, political art of Kara Walker.

The inspirational artists :Kara Walker
Walker is best known for her panoramic friezes of cut-paper silhouettes, usually black figures against a white wall, which address the history of American slavery and racism through violent and unsettling imagery.She has also produced works in gouache, watercolor, video animation, shadow puppets, "magic-lantern" projections, as well as large-scale sculptural installations like her ambitious public exhibition with Creative Time called A Subtlety (2014). The black and white silhouettes confront the realities of history, while also using the stereotypes from the era of slavery to relate to persistent modern-day concerns. Her exploration of American racism can be applied to other countries and cultures regarding relations between race and gender, and reminds us of the power of art to defy conventions
