Dennis Rodman: drawing and available formats
Looking at the image
Rodman’s head fills a warm orange field. Dark eyes and mouth supply structure without an action pose.
Traces of drawing, encounters between colors and individual character are central to İlker Ortaç’s portraits and figures. The image can be approached through the way a face or body is constructed, as well as through whom it represents.
From life to creative practice
Beşiktaş and Efes Pilsen terraces also appear in Ortaç’s biography. This personal proximity to sporting culture offers a way to read the portrait apart from a score or match record. The face is not presented as documentation of a specific game.
From making to presentation
- Image source: the drawing is presented through the existing portfolio image or original-artwork record.
- Form: color, line, gaze and framing are explored in the visual notes on this page.
- Presentation: matching files, prints or objects are shown through separate product guides.
From the studio: a creative reconstruction
A first-person creative reconstruction drawing on the biography and artworks.
I imagine how the sound of a terrace might become a line across a face. Describing movement does not require filling an entire court or pitch; sometimes a jaw, a gaze or a compressed shoulder is enough. I let the line move around that tension.
Working around Dennis Rodman, my attention returns to this detail: Rodman’s head fills a warm orange field. Dark eyes and mouth supply structure without an action pose. In the next passage, I imagine pulling back anything that weakens that encounter and leaving the areas holding its tension open for longer.
I want to consider the work from a distance for a while, then return to the same small detail. Imagining its different formats side by side, I try to keep the trace that stopped me in the first place.
