Randy Dudley, graphite drawing
Randy Dudley is a well known photorealist painter. His works are in museums around the world. What few people know is he also draws images using pencil and graphite sticks. The photo you see here is not very sharp, but the actual image is extremely sharp. You need to be 20 inches away before you realize it's not a photograph. Photorealist collectors are always looking for another Dudley graphite. This one is exceptional. It's larger than most of his others and has been kept in storage in perfect framed condition in Denver. See more of his work at the Novak Art Gallery.
He told me:
It took seven weeks from start to finish, not working on anything else during that time. I worked on it during March and April, 2006.
I bought it from the New York gallery that represented Dudley at the time, and I'm the only owner it's had. It has stayed framed, in storage or in a dark room, since 2006, and it's in perfect condition.
