Tuesday, 24 May 2016. Up close and far away. The macro and the micro. Look at the video link and it clearly articulates how powers of magnitude allow us to think about how scale and 'look' are relative concepts that depend on moving our conceptual framework beyond our 'normal' sense of scale, a normality that is based on a particular understanding of ourselves. From 'Powers of 10'. The concept behind Debra Weisberg’s tape drawings relies on this effect. Debra Weisberg: Tape Drawing. This close up of the ...

Friday, 22 April 2016. William Kentridge in Rome. For those of you who are interested in how drawing can be the focus of a spectacular performance, last night saw the opening of William Kentridge's Triumph and Lament in Rome. Perhaps the most interesting issue is that of how to work on a large scale in public and yet still remain sensitive to the surfaces you work on. In this case Kentridge uses stencils and washes away existing dirt to make his images. Wednesday, 20 April 2016. Yun-Kyung Jeong also work...

Tuesday, 22 November 2016. The grid as a cage or trap. Above 3D cages and traps, below 2D perspective grids, they have a very clear visual relationship. An early example of the perspective grid being used to define a space for humans. Mr Van Amburgh, as He Appeared with His Animals: Sir Edwin Landseer 1847. He must have been aware of historical p recedents. Who used grids in the backgrounds of his photographs in order to establish a frame of reference. The perspective grid is often used in how to draw bo...

Drawing : Louise Lawler: Modern Art Oxford
http://fineartdrawinglca.blogspot.com/2016/12/louise-lawler-modern-art-oxford.html
Thursday, 15 December 2016. Louise Lawler: Modern Art Oxford. I have mentioned Louise Lawler’s work before in reference to ‘tracing’. She is in a very good exhibition in Oxford at the moment;. KALEIDOSCOPE: The Vanished Reality - Modern Art Oxford - until 31 December 2016. If you are interested in that interface between drawing and photography Lawler’s work is very interesting, especially if you are also thinking of how the use of vector graphic packages can extend the way you think about scale. This blo...

Sunday, 24 July 2016. Why does ink stick to paper? I use water-based ink on paper as my drawing materials. I sometimes categorise my drawing materials into those that flow in water as if in a primordial sea and those that are scraped off on hard surfaces like some form of geological attrition. There is for myself a rightness about the flow of ink, it feels as if I am tapped into working with something akin to my own life blood. I choose to use water based or. A hydroxyl group consists of one hydrogen.

Wednesday, 24 February 2016. Is drawing a language? In Richard Cytowic's 'The Man Who Tasted Shapes' it is pointed out that no two synesthetics 'see' their associations the same way, one person hearing the sound of a trumpet as bright red, another as cold blue. These issues point to a much more complex problem and one fundamental to my question. Are languages learnt or innate? It is however no different outside of the education world. The 'art world' itself has languages of discourse and you have to ...

Drawing : A line of disjuncture: the tear
http://fineartdrawinglca.blogspot.com/2017/01/a-line-of-disjuncture-tear.html
Wednesday, 4 January 2017. A line of disjuncture: the tear. Asger Jorn 1950 drawing on two pieces of paper. Every process can be highjacked to support other agendas, and the Chapman Brothers turned to. In the original Surrealist Exquisite Corpse drawing above, I like the way that Miro's drawing is so clearly his, the awkward 'naffness' of this image chimes with the desire to discover something new and is an interesting comparison with the Chapman Brothers more knowing composition. This blog is designed t...

Drawing : Pop expressionist surrealism
http://fineartdrawinglca.blogspot.com/2016/12/pop-expressionist-surrealism.html
Sunday, 4 December 2016. I suspect if you think you need to think about these things you are already 'past it'. Academia rages about plagiarism but people sitting on computers and fingering their mobiles world wide simply cut and paste and get on with their lives. Here is a nice easy primer/manifesto for Pop expressionist surrealism. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Heidegger on the significance of drawing.

Saturday, 29 October 2016. Tony Bevan at Cartwright Hall. I finally managed to get over to the Cartwright Hall in Bradford to see the Tony Bevan exhibition. For those of you interested in charcoal as a drawing medium Bevan is a must see. He has been working for many years now, pushing his charcoal drawings into a territory that verges into painting but never quite leaving behind the fact that he is still drawing. Ou can get an idea of how he works by watching thisvideo. Of him talking about his work.

Saturday, 19 March 2016. Michael Lyons surrounded by his own drawings. Michael Lyons the sculptor has an exhibition of drawings on over at the Leeds University's Stanley and. Audrey Burton Art G. Allery. It's aways interesting to look at sculptor's drawings because no matter how gestural you might think they are, there is always an underlying sense of form, whether from a sense of mass or volume. Michael Lyons Tree Drawings. Michael Lyons: Trees in a landscape. Lyons is much more interested this time in ...
