Queen on the Board

Queen on the Board: graphite drawing of two crowned queens in gowns on a chessboard floor beneath a stormy sky, by Kimberly Nichole Reising
Queen on the Board — Kimberly Nichole Reising, Graphite drawing.

A chessboard establishes the visual language of Queen on the Board, a 20 × 30 inch graphite drawing by Philadelphia artist Kimberly Nichole Reising. The work brings a structured game of position and consequence into the tactile precision of hand-rendered drawing.

In Reising’s wider practice, realism meets perceptual ambiguity: viewers encounter an emotional and compositional force before all of its forms become clear. Close looking reveals shifts in edge, contrast and spatial relationships.
