Pen on paper. Wild Drawing titles are the number in the series along with the location of the original sketch. Westward Ho! is a town on the north Devon coast, England.
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,
