Wild Drawings

The drawings are mostly created from small sketches made outside, in the moment, capturing the view. In this way Wild Drawings recapture a real living past moment, and this artist's response to it.

History

After some time spent constructing more abstract and conceptual works, it is a wonderful feeling to be looking and recording again, as the main event. There is a sense of "homecoming" - returning to a tradition of humans seeking to recreate something of their environment in two dimensions.

Wild Drawings began life as a more abstract exercise back in 2018.

Rediscovering these large scribbled works in early 2024, your artist wondered whether the energy and freshness in those abstract marks could be employed in a figurative context. 

Thank you,
