Charles Danby
Charles Danby studied at Norwich School of Art and Kingston University (BA) before graduating from the Slade (MFA) in 2002. He lives and works in London, as a curator, writer and artist, currently lectures in Fine Art at Loughborough University and is a co-founder of PROJECKT, a curatorial research partnership that broadcasts projects across the internet and presents work internationally. His work deals with lines and marking primarily in pencil, more often changing the medium on which this technique is employed than the technique itself. He sees the pencil as intimate, responsive to differences in weight getting close to the page, standing in contrast to the mass-produced and cold printed media upon which he places the marks.

Graphite and glicee print on hahnemuhle rag, Unique and framed
The use of graphite on an advertising model sets up a number of interesting contrasts. Fashion modeling itself thrives of simultaneous feeling of connection or admiration and distance and division, such as this example of the model turning away from the camera. These divisions create desire. Similarly the impersonal nature of mass produced advertising is still branded to sell to the individual. The intimacy of the pencil provides a very human response to the print media.
