Smoke drawing: A unique technique in which Etienne Gros uses the flame of a candle or paraffin lamp to create shapes on paper. In his smoke drawings, the material (the carbon deposit left by the flame) conveys evanescence and lightness, reinforcing a soft, ethereal sensuality. The curls created by the flame evoke a fluid movement that mimics the curves and folds of the body.
