Artist and 2016 cansonpaper #PrixCanson finalist Lucy Skaer talked about her work tonight [June 22] at drawingcenter. Many in the audience were particularly intrigued by her triptych "black drawings" pinned loftily to the wall and draped in a slung to the floor with thin foam-core support beneath. Skaer created these drawings--consisting of rhythmic black sharpie spirals in grids, pictorial shapes, and patterns additionally filled in with graphite--like a tapestry. She wove together different earlier drawings as a patchwork and utilized a few assistants to carry out the tedious, repetitive labor. Here, we see a play with drawing on paper at an architectural scale. A tension exists between the intricate, repetitive detail in graphite (which we may see as lushly decorative) and the bodily scale shift to a larger, wholesome framework. #lucyskaer #casonpaper #drawing #contemporarydrawing #graphite #graphitedrawing #triptych #thedrawingcenter #soho #sohonyc #sohoart #architecturaldrawing #artisttalk
