Drawings

I use drawing as a very accessible, flexible and direct way of making artwork.
In theory you can use a burnt stick or other basic item to create marks; I tend to use black oil pastels of various colours and sizes as they give me an immediate strong line, which is almost impossible to rub-out. So once I make a mark I’m committed to it.
My work has often been described as urban and visually strong. I’ve been influenced by comic books, pop art, Van Gogh and urban signage.

Sack trolley drawings

by PaulFebruary 6, 2011May 9, 2014

I’m experimenting with more three-dimensional drawings of objects.
Here drawings of a sack barrow show the movement of the object over time. The drawings stand in free space, mounted on cardboard.
I’ll continue drawing this object in a way that describes its function and movement.
