MARKINGS–A Premier Show of Contemporary Drawing–Opens Tuesday, Nov 8 2016

Jassim Taqui


This is the show of the year. Don't miss it. Contemporary drawing is very powerful. The contemporary drawing is the foundations of creative activity. It sharpens your observation skills and gives you the basics of drawing. The focus is on the perspective, contours, thumbnail sketching, and shadow. 

The Line is one of the most fundamental art elements employed by artists.  Experiment with charcoal, pen, pastel, watercolor, Conte and other media to explore the power of line and how material choice can affect expression.

Artists sharpen their observation skills by learning to draw from life.  They draw from recreations of the still-life compositions. 

Artists use technical drawings as inspiration, experiment with special materials and methods to come up with their own unique creations.

In contemporary art, “drawing” can mean many types of activity. Artists “draw” with wire and tape, and use unconventional media to create drawings in space. They expand their idea of what drawing can be as we abstract basic drawings, experiment with nontraditional materials, and take inspiration from the work of contemporary artists.
