Drawing
The exhibition reveals a broad view of the practice of drawing by the twenty-one participating artists. There are multiple techniques at work here including large-scale charcoal drawings by Conrad Egyir and Tylonn Sawyer, a 3-D rendering of a very long line by Emmy Bright, Cayce Zavaglia’s embroidered portrait, life-like gouache drawings by Jessica Rohrer, a graphite composition by Willie Wayne Smith and Whitfield Lovell’s conte crayon drawing with an attached found object.
A drawing is the most intimate experience you can have with an artist’s work. From the artist’s eye to the hand and the paper, it’s an instinctive process. Because drawing is so immediate a spontaneity occurs that doesn’t always take place with painting or sculpture. As Roberta Smith observed, the possibilities are endless.
Drawing is really the best of all art mediums. Its history is long and encompassing, truly global, virtually unbounded…drawings bring us close to an artist’s thoughts, feelings and touch with an intimacy that sometimes seems metabolic. -Roberta Smith
