Malnourishment



This is piece number 2 of my degree project. I focused upon one of the most crippling atrocities of Bangladesh, malnourishment. Specifically, the malnourishment of children. The text is Bengali script for 14,080,000. Approximately the number of children affected by malnourishment in the entire country.
I tape transferred the drawing of my malnourished child onto a prepared surface which consisted of newspaper covered with matte medium. The colors were acrylic paint placed on with a palette knife. The text was tape transferred on as well. I went into the shading of the figure with some marker and white acrylic paint for the super high-lights.
