A Page from the #DrawingPapers Archive

This page from Drawing Papers 15 features a detail of Adrianne Gallinari’s wall drawing at The Drawing Center, created with black crayon applied directly to the wall.

For her first U.S. exhibition, The Drawing Center invited Brazilian artist #AdrianneGallinari to create a new work directly on the walls of its Drawing Room.  Applying black crayon directly to the wall, and sometimes to the floor and ceiling, Gallinari enacts a drawing performance that engulfs the viewer. Her installations are comprised of an expressive mass of words intermixed with groups of human figures- most often suggested through simple contour- inscribed on the wall with strong gestural marks.  Images move back and forth between the seemingly naively rendered and carefully depicted details that, in their exactness, expand suggested meanings: recurring figures drawn within whirlpools indicate either the longing for an alternative world, or the spinning sensation of vertigo.

The Drawing Papers are a series of publications documenting The Drawing Center’s exhibitions and public programs and providing a forum for the study of drawing. -Kate Robinson, Bookstore Manager
