The line is free and expressive, occasionally broken or blurred, which adds lightness and spontaneity to the drawing. Traces of the brush and irregularities on the paper surface are visible, attesting to the artist’s direct contact with the medium.
The monochromatic palette of browns and blacks, with lighter areas of the paper serving as background and highlights, builds an intimate and stark atmosphere. The contrasts of light and shadow are subtle, modeling the form in a delicate and suggestive way. The lack of unnecessary details directs the viewer’s attention to the overall volume of the body and its proportions. An intriguing element of the drawing is the fragmentarily depicted face, hidden behind an applied, lighter piece of paper with an outlined eye. This treatment adds mystery to the work and provokes reflection on the identity and emotions of the depicted figure.
“Kitten” is a study of the human form that goes beyond the conventional representation of the nude. It is rather a personal and subjective interpretation of the body, captured in dynamic movement and with a hint of mystery. This artwork is characterized by its austerity and power of expression, typical of many of Jolanda Jeklin’s works. It is a proposition for lovers of drawing and the nude who appreciate works with a strong yet subtle message and a non-obvious form.
