paint, watercolour,
graphite or marker mixed with the addition
of Photoshop and Illustrator.

graphite, pumice, papier - mâché and glitter among others — all have visual signatures as distinctive as the bulbous shine
of oil
paint or the transparent skeins
of gouache.
Motifs glide in and out;
graphite lines trace the contours
of unknown plants and body parts, accented by strokes
of green, yellow, orange, and red crayon drifting like blossom petals across the surface... the drawings in this show suggest that Gorky's aesthetic is invested in the cultivation
of visual ideas that transcend the individual artwork, a process that is occasionally frozen in
paint.»

But after doing a few
graphite drawings, I felt I was missing some
of the expressive quality you get from
painting, so I decided to give charcoal another go.
Composed
of humble materials such as hand -
painted string, delicate jewelry chains, tiny nails, stones, Plexiglas, slight metal rods and weights, and an occasional
graphite line, every single object is pivotal to the overall composition and each is carefully considered for its intrinsic physical properties.

graphite piece by Frank Auerbach (b1931), Self - Portrait II (2010).
