Erotic (2023) presents a paired framing of two works on paper by Vincent Lantzy, bringing together complementary explorations of the abstracted female figure, gesture, and psychological charge. Executed in marker, pencil, crayon, watercolor, and ink, the works operate in quiet tension—distinct in scale and approach, yet unified by urgency and restraint.

The first work, Erotic (2023), approximately 8 × 9 inches, is a raw, gestural drawing in marker, pencil, crayon, and ink. Hovering between suggestion and abstraction, the figure is implied through fragmented lines, negative space, and saturated strokes. Rather than depicting eroticism outright, the drawing gestures toward it—filtered through memory, instinct, and distortion—emphasizing sensation and energy over representation.

The second work, a 14 × 11 inch abstract watercolor, ink, and pencil drawing of a woman, extends this inquiry through looser washes and layered marks. The figure emerges and dissolves simultaneously, shaped by fluid color and intuitive linework. Narrative is withheld in favor of presence, vulnerability, and emotional resonance.

Rooted in Lantzy’s background in fashion and hand-altered garments, both works retain the immediacy of the hand—unpolished, expressive, and deeply personal. Framed together, Erotic forms a unified meditation on desire, identity, and the human figure as both image and energy.
