Eyes Wide Shut: Contemporary Drawings from Germany

September 15 - October 29, 2011

"Nowhere is the artist as naked as when it comes to drawing by hand. This exhibition highlights artists whose artistic perception emerges from within, working almost as if the eyelids were closed, accessing an enormous potential bank of imagery. All the artists in the show lay bare initial impulses and visions through the intimate medium of drawing. The result is work that expresses the subconscious, even the uncanny. What seems to be strange at first sight turns out to be uncomfortably familiar. “The direct expression of artistic spirit through the drawing utensils and the speed with which subjective impulses can be translated onto paper enables artists to use drawings to cut through the superficial layers that muddle things and actions,” states Sonna. “No post-edits or alterations are allowed: a cosmos of imagination arises from just a few lines, where word and image can mingle easily, and subversive energies are set free.”

 The street performance in the photo was from a 2006 party in which I made a 10 x 12 foot ink drawing before the sunset when the drumming begins.
