Disclosing what cannot be told - what unfolds visually, beyond simple narrative - your drawings are powerful manifestations of energy, each compressed and extensible: some fluid, some emblematic, some organistic. Like accordian pleats, they open, close, fold, unfold, reorganizing themselves into rhythmic wholeness.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Like the mammoth on the cave wall, your work shows artist and beholder an image there, yet not there; present, yet absent. This paradox would have puzzled our ancestral observer: the artist knew that with his hands he had made the mammoth appear. Apparent and real, of form and substance, of hunting magic and, perhaps, of religious feeling. The artist who paid attention to this new image field would learn a new way of looking at the world.
 
 
 
 
 
 

The singular value of your drawing as drawing is in its energy's freedom and surprise, which - beyond the act of making - remain to touch our deepest feelings. We are priveleged to welcome you as the first Meyer Schapiro Artist.”
