Pushing back against the notion that drawing occupies a secondary position to painting, In Carbon presents works that assert themselves as complete, vital, and fully realized in their own right. These are not studies, preliminaries, or gestures toward some other, theoretically more finished form. These are works of immediacy and conviction, carrying within them a directness that is uniquely suited to the language of drawing itself. Through a combination of line, pressure, restraint, accumulation, and gesture, each artist reveals the medium's remarkable capacity for simultaneous gravity and nuance.
Bringing together an international selection of artists, the exhibition highlights a wildly varied approach to the discipline, demonstrating drawing's breadth as both a technical and conceptual practice. Across differing sensibilities, materials, and visual languages, the works on view move from intimate and meditative to monumental and expansive, emphasizing drawing as a practice of immense presence. In Carbon invites viewers to reconsider the medium on its own terms: not a practice subordinate to painting, but as a form capable of profound resonance, complexity, and resolution.
Dennis Dalesio (US), Eduardo Alvarado (Spain), Esra Turhan (Germany), James Thistlethwaite (UK), Jeremy Mann (US), João Ruas (Brazil), Marina Ho (France), Mayuko Ono Gray (Japan), Paulina Goca (Mexico), Phil Hale (US), Rim Baudey (Khazakstan), Soey Milk (Korea), Tania Rivilis (Ukraine), Wes Burt (US), and Zachary Oldenkamp (US).
