Title: Turning Nude Male Figure Sketch in Pencil on Paper
By Minty Ramsey
Signed bottom right
Size: 8.5 x 11.75 inches (height x width)
Medium: Pencil drawing on paper, unframed
Condition: Good overall condition with light handling marks and faint edge wear consistent with studio sketches.
Description:
This expressive pencil drawing by British contemporary artist Minty Ramsey portrays a nude male figure standing in a dynamic turning pose. With one hand resting on the hip and the torso subtly twisting, the model’s posture reveals the shifting tension of the back, shoulder, and waist. Ramsey’s line work — quick, intuitive, and instinctively gestural — captures both the physical weight of the stance and the immediacy of a live life-drawing session.
Working in pencil on textured artist paper, Ramsey uses a mixture of bold directional strokes and delicate contour lines to build the form. The head is turned over the shoulder, introducing a sense of awareness and alertness, while the elongated verticality of the pose accentuates the spine and the natural curves of the body. Small areas of cross-hatching add tonal depth, particularly around the shoulder and the hip, grounding the figure without over-rendering.
Turning poses like this have long been prized within figurative drawing, allowing artists to explore rotation, subtle foreshortening, and the asymmetry of weight-shift. Ramsey’s contemporary interpretation honours these traditions while maintaining a raw, instinctive spontaneity. Her work often reflects the fleeting moments of live modelling — the quick shift of balance, the held breath, the moment before the pose changes again.
Ideal for collectors of male nude studies, life-drawing sketches, contemporary figurative art, and gesture-focused pencil drawings, this piece offers an intimate look into the artist’s process and the expressive possibilities of the human form. Unframed and ready for personalised presentation, it would complement both minimalist and eclectic interior spaces.
