The blurb on the gallery sheet includes this – Drendel “…creates intriguing vignettes of people from many walks of life…” They all seem ordinary unremarkable citizens in their everyday. The image above is large and highly priced but draws you into the delicate shyness and discomfort of that moment of the first dance.
Drendel’s work drips with humour as one study is “Study for the unidentified” a person holding up a sheet to hide behind and “The temptress” a view of the naked back of a person holding up a sheet between them and an unseen person. These images are attractive through their portrayal of human fragility and vulnerability. Delightful!
