Contemporary Surrealist Concept Drawing

This item is an original conceptual pencil drawing executed in a spiral-bound sketchbook. The composition features two abstract, biomorphic forms characterized by fluid, tube-like appendages and organic, bulbous shapes. The central figure is rendered with significant tonal shading to create a three-dimensional effect, entwined with a jagged, circular element reminiscent of a gear or a crown. A smaller, similar study appears above the main figure. The drawing is executed on white paper using graphite, showing varying degrees of hardness for light outlines and deep shadows. In the lower left corner, a handwritten identification box is visible, featuring French text: 'Recherche imaginaire', the date '05/11/2015', and an artist's signature. The overall style is contemporary and surreal, focusing on movement and depth. The paper appears to be in good condition with no visible foxing, though it remains attached to the sketchbook binding. The craftsmanship shows professional control over light and shadow to define volume despite the abstract subject matter. A mechanical pencil and a fineliner pen are visible in the foreground, indicating the artist's tools.
