Illustration Friday : Heavy:Some Fat is Beautiful
This is a 16x24 chalk and acetate piece that I did as one of my assignments in school, for one of my favourite teachers. The challenge was finding a solution to the statement. Some fat "is" beautiful... and it can be. Our world is sooooo conditioned to find thinness appealing,to the point of annorexia. There is, a 'healthy' medium, a 'happy' medium, which might mean to a models standards 'that", we may be a little too heavy. "If I had been around when Rubens was painting, I would have been revered as a fabulous model. Kate Moss? Well, she would have been the paintbrush."
