Lisle Style
- Dylan Lisle
- Edinburgh UK, Scotland, United Kingdom
- "Dylan Lisle’s work maintains a contemporary dynamism through his old masterly representations of the female form. Knots and swathes of vibrant, passionate fabric envelope his sensuous figures, or otherwise are the subject of larger studies, which draw upon chiaroscuro, reminiscent of Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Vermeer and Rubens. His work is instantly approachable, engagingly serene and romantically charged; traits that have not gone unnoticed in the art world he inhabits. Fresh from his first London solo exhibition, Dylan Lisle spearheads a modern movement of artists, whose desire it is to capture light in all its glorious subtleties, texture in its infinite tactile qualities and the female form in its evasive beauty." Hope Robertson, 2007

Looking at it now I agree with the Mule. B W B. Looks good and take your focus off the middle figure which seems right due to her being blindfolded. Almost that because she is blinded her importance is reduced. Some might comment that it reflects our modern society where those with impairments are ignored and less important despite years of progression towards a divrse society. But then I am an uncout lout with no appreciation of art other than "does it look good."
Dear Lisleface - I like the last two. the blue and white are really nice together, the red seems a very harsh tone. just my preference though :)
number four is the most pleasing to the eye
I think the blue and white works better. The red/pink stands out a bit too much and also feels very sweet, perhaps a little too dominant. I don't like the blue-red mix, too much going on. But the blue and white is pleasant and nice against the red hues in the background. Think I prefer the white centrefigure, works better with the blindfold. Hope that is of some help.
Best wishes,
Jo
I like the white/blue/white one. I don't know why, but the fact the middle girls blindfold is white, but she has a blue toga may be it?
For me the red, white, red one is the strongest. There is something quite visceral about seeing the knife (sword?) and shears against the red. The red also seems to emphasise the innocent aspect of the white, in a way that the cold, and possibly clinical, blue does not. Lastly, I see a certain edge of menace to the figures when they are dressed in red, that is missing from the blue. I hope that helps!
Blue and white for me... Can't decide between which - purely aesthetically I prefer the blue in the middle, but maybe white in the centre suits the tale better.
Ok Dylan - I have been thinking hard about this one.
I am not too sure the primary colours work so well with the three figures. I would either go with blue white blue - OR - and this may fry your brain even more - change your colour palette completely and go for softer colours with more ochre tones - I am thinking of Correggio here.

The compostion and mood has that Renaissance feel to it and that is why I thought of the turquoises, ochres and carmine reds instead of your ultramarines and vermillions.
You'll get it right - dont overthink it. Sorry if I have added to your confusion.

Where as I agree with Stephanie Rew the ambition of assimulating Correggios colour could only really be attempted if you included his handling and that's very difficult.
Sticking with tinting a Grisaille I would go for Blu Red Blu if the background earth was darkened enough to contain/control the colour blocks (though intrestingly not definately darkening down the sky as could prob work as a light sky shape against the dark hair shapes).
I think the Wht Blu Wht looks best as a study because it is most gentle,your up against a graphic problem of expressing conflicting signifiyers -elegant women v's knives & scissors hence no obvious winner.
Good Luck from Mr Chris.
Forget the white and red, you need blue. Blue was always a prestige colour but more importantly it looks best too. I think the two blues with the white in the middle edges in front of the two blue with the red in the middle. But I guess it depends on whether you are Florentine or Venetian, and I know where I stand on that one.
Aye,
Kieran.
