„Die Zeichnung ist Samenkorn
und Blitzschlag!“
„A drawing is a seed and a flash
of lightning.“
„Un dessin est une semence et un
coup de foudre.“
(Per Kirkeby)
Solo exhibition Tone Fink | Drawing Now 2020 We present a solo exhibition
including drawings and drawing books as well as cartoon-like videos, giving insight
into two quite characteristic creative periods. The basic idea of this presentation is
– to show Tone Fink’s development from classical ‘pencil & paper’ drawing as done
during the late 1970’s until early 1980’s – in confrontation to his expanded and
amended drawing style via animated cartooning (videos) and / or scratching, tearing
& grinding techniques partly substituting his pencil drawings. Hence single original
drawings created in 1978 /80 and in 2018, which led to an aggregated booklet
named “mono.tone”, as well as two videos and some books will be on display.
“mono.tone” stands for a limited edition (125 pcs.) printed on handmade paper,
individually signed. Videos – – “ver.saugt” [de.sucked], 2011, 5:17 min., consisting
