Pigment on Paper, showing at the new UCA Gallery in Observatory from 28 January – 28 February, presents work by five local artists, the commonality being the paper on which the images appear.
To start at the conceptual beginning: think sketchbook, pencil, charcoal, ink. The work on paper is, perhaps, the foundation of the artwork; the line drawn on the page as a means of artistic exploration, which may (or may not) lead to other media. Pushing the idea further, one finds printmaking, watercolour painting, photography. Possibly the most recent development in this conceptual constellation of works on paper is a relationship to graphic design and illustration, with which the traditional perception of “fine art†is becoming increasingly comfortable. What results is an inclusive creative display, beginning and ending with pigment on paper.
Pigment on Paper will open on Wednesday, 28 January at 6pm and closes on Saturday 28 February.
