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