Painting and drawings of figures in motion by Judith Kunzlé  
Cook Islands dancer Easter Island dancer Mount Ikurangi, Rarotonga Seashells Hula  

See Judith Kunzlé's work in progress

"For painting dancers I chose a perspective that emphasizes the flow of expressive gestures. To amplify the seashells organic forms, I have taken the perspective of a hermit crab looking for a home."

Compose your own combination of Seashells with Judith's new gicleés prints of ink drawings.

Judith Kunzlé sketches dancers and troupes at rehearsals and performances to study the body language of various dance forms.

In Rarotonga, Cook Islands, dance is a very important part of the local Polynesian culture. With pastels and acrylics, she brings the dynamic and graceful Cook Islands Dance alive on paper.

Here is the inside story from the dancer’s point of view, by Judith's dance mentor in Rarotonga Jackie Tuara-Newnham.

She writes art articles which are published in the Cook Islands News.

The Sketchbook features Judith Kunzlé's drawings of musicians at the Jazz & Blues Festival in Rarotonga.

Judith Kunzlé's paints Land- and seascapes in watercolor in Rarotonga and on other islands she visits.

 

Judith is drawing in contemporary dance studios in Europe, the USA and New Zealand, to extend the study of body language and dance movements.

To find out about the different dance forms in the South Pacific, Judith has been to Tahiti, the Marquesas, Easter Island, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, and PNG.
In Hawai'i, she sketched Hula dancers.

The Limited Edition Prints feature Cook Islands Themes and Dance, Hula, Tongan, Fijian, Easter Islands dancers and Pacific Still lives. Each print is hand-signed and numbered. All the prints are high-quality gicleés or offset prints with light-fast inks on acid-free paper.

The figure studies and Live Drawings are an important part of Judith's research into body language, and the dynamics of body in space.
