"Abstract Drawing" exhibition

Curated by artist Richard Deacon This exhibition is an exploration of the idea of ‘abstraction’ in drawing and includes work by an international selection of artists who employ various strands of abstract drawing, from the calligraphic to the generative. Artists include: Tomma Abts, Roger Ackling, Anni Albers, Tauba Auerbach, David Austen David Batchelor, Victor Ciato, Garth Evans, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfaraian, John Golding, Lothar Gotz, Frederick Hammersley, Victoria Haven, Susan Hefuna, Eva Hesse, Dom Sylvester Houedard, John Latham, Judith Laudand, Bob Law, Sol Lewitt, Emma McNally, Jackson Pollock, Mira Schendel, Darrell Viner, Alison Widing, Richard Wright Richard Deacon CBE is considered one of the most important British sculptors of his generation and has exhibited internationally since the early 1980s. He won the Turner prize in 1987, and in early 2014 a major retrospective of his work will be presented at Tate Britain. The activity of drawing is crucial to his work as a sculptor which explores the manner in which a range of materials react to methods of manipulation and construction. This is Drawing Room’s fourth artist-curated exhibition, a strand of the program that aims to provide audiences revelatory access to the ideas that inform the work of key contemporary artists. The Drawing Room gallery is open Tuesday to Friday 11am–6pm and Saturday 12–6pm. On the last Friday of every month the gallery is open late until 8pm. Click here for more info and updates.
