Drawing
Matthew Roberts
4 September – 18 September 2008
Opening on Thursday 4 September 6-8pm
Roberts will meld together classic Caravaggio and Durer like imagery with contemporary visual media examples. Reducing the whole history of western image making in to simple common types, war, beauty etc. The deliberate use of large scale charcoal drawings, considered almost naive by contemporary arts plethora of mediums, serves to deliver up to the audience a universal art 'type', charcoal being a firmly established medium in everything from dawn of civilization cave drawings to primary school art lessons to community life drawing classes and even painting mock ups by the great masters of 20th century art.
