Alison Lambert

This charcoal and pastel drawing "Zeno" is one of Lambert's 'Emotion and Expression' series. Lambert does portraits of people displaying different emotions, much like Arnulf Rainer does, but Lambert's work isn't photographic. I like the inclusion of hands in this portrait and the monochromatic colour scheme. The composition is quite basic but that means that the focus is on the subject and therefore the message of the picture comes through more clearly.
