Robert J. Blanchette (b.1961–) is an artist whose meticulously rendered graphite pencil drawings employ various genres of still life, portraiture and landscape to explore complex relationships between light and space.
The artist literally hammers the paper with rock-hard graphite to achieve the rich tonal array-simultaneously diminishes and increases the importance of the subjects he presents. This interplay between space and subject juxtaposed against the calm black-and-white tones of the graphite and the luxurious texture of the paper ground creates a tantalizing tension within the picture plane.
