Drawings: Visions, Surfaces and Beyond June 29, 2007

'Drawing: Visions, Surfaces and Beyond' presents the work of 23 contemporary Bay Area artists who have employed the medium of drawing to create works ranging from classical life drawings to abstract renderings. Whether it is a finely detailed reclining figure, a study in charcoal of a master painting, or free-flowing vision of abstraction, each of the artists represented demonstrate the immediacy and versatility of drawing. Some of the artists even push the definitions of "drawing," as in the wire sculptures of Ruth Asawa whose intricate constructions become drawings in three-dimensional space, as shadows emulate an ever-moving line drawing on the surrounding walls.
