Pen on canvas, 121.9 x 152.4 cm © de l'ardsteOthers ardsts exhibited on the booth: Agnes Barley, Amy Feldman, Patrick KeeseyPrices of the works: from 1 500 € to 7 000 €Blackston is pleased to present the work of four ardsts – Agnes Barley, Amy Feldman, Patrick Keesey, Shawn Kuruneru -­‐-­‐ for whom drawing is a core component of their pracdce, whether as a final statement of work or as the basis for preparadon of their work in a different medium. Blackston’s feature ardst, Shawn Kuruneru, employs rigorous applicadon of miniscule ink marks over paper, canvas and panel surfaces to create highly detailed minimalist work. The unduladon and accumuladon of these marks develop compelling visual connecdons and perspecdve shigs, as well as altering the texture and tone of each surface.Amy Feldman, uses drawing as an integral part of her art-­‐making. She prepares for her paindngs by making drawings – quick and casual and frequently cut and reassembled . They are an intrinsic foundadon of her planning process -­‐-­‐ and she translates the nonchalant, free-­‐hand nature of her drawings to her studied paindngs.Agnes Barley’s geometric, collage drawings are reducdve and methodical exploradons of structure and form. Her work examines concepts of place, context, dme and meaning.Patrick Keesey concentrates on the reladonship between seeing and marking, and the essendal tension inherent in the process of drawing. His work is a record of the movement of eye across a plane. The resuldng non-­‐representadonal, shapes and mark accumuladons explore the potendal of form and space in their own right.Presse mappe I Seite 80
