Drawing
I was thrilled to have "Big Drawing" included in the Drawing Exhibition at David Klein Gallery in Detroit, MI. My piece (left) "Big Drawing" is shown next to one of my favorite Detroit drawers - Tylonn Sawyer. His drawing is called, "Black Man on a Horse: Bayard"
From the press release:
A drawing is simply a line going for a walk. -Paul Klee
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....
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.
