"Containment" 17 x 24 $400
Continuous Drawing
During the past year I've revisited an older format of drawing and painting that first preoccupied me
around 1980. Leading up to that time, for a couple of years, I'd begun drawing in a manner I'd referred to as 'continuous drawing'. These were linear abstractions which were drafted as spontaneous or 'automatic' drawings aimed at emphasizing subconscious expression. I began seeing imagery within the grid work of those lines which I often extracted and made into paintings.
I imagine that this method of working is not unique to me, though
it is often difficult to trace the origins of other artists' work, due to the many transformations that occur in the course of drawing and painting. The method of making multiple studies or sketches in preparation for a painting is in itself a process which contrasts with more spontaneous methods. Likewise the degree to which an artist makes prior conscious decisions regarding theme or content, vs. allowing for ideas and transformation to emerge in the course of their work, varies with each artist and is a formative element of their individual styles.
