Bobi poses 2013

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this line drawing, "Bobi poses", on paper. I really feel for Krupa here; haven't we all been there, trying to capture that fleeting essence of our beloved animal companions? It’s a chaotic dance of lines, isn’t it? A frenzy of marks, frantically trying to pin down the wiggle of an ear, the glint in an eye. Look at how Krupa layers these lines, almost like a map of Bobi's energy. There's a tenderness here. It's a reminder that drawing, like any art, is a conversation, an exchange, a kind of call and response between artist and subject. It's about how we see, how we feel, and how we translate that into something tangible, something that speaks across time.
