I Do Not Know How To Describe These Pictures,

they are larger than life,


 and made entirely with compressed charcoal,

 stunning, 

 amazing,

 fabulous, 

 words almost fail me as I look at the work of Swiss artist Clio Newton

She has been hard at work on a series of larger-than-life portraits of women, the towering drawings can reach nearly 8 feet tall and capture near photographic detail of her subject’s faces, hair, and bodies, several of the new portraits will be on view in an upcoming show at Benjamin Eck Galerie in Munich titled ‘Realism‘ that opens September 14, 2017, You can read an interview with Newton on Quiet Lunch and see more of her recent work and studio photos on Instagram, stunning, amazing, fabulous, yes the work of Clio is all of those.
