Egon Schiele and Rodin
The human form has always captivated Alphachanneling, drawing inspiration from artists like Egon Schiele and Rodin. While they initially explored figure drawing from models, they eventually transitioned to drawing directly from imagination. This approach allows them to delve deeper into personal expression, shaping bodies into forms that capture the essence of human experience—physical, emotional, and spiritual.
