OF VALUE – an exhibition of drawings

Opening reception: Friday, May 4.  5:00 PM.  Coni Wolf Gallery at Marketview Arts

” . . . a lot of people refuse to consider drawing in the same way as a painting, sculpture, or other form of art. Art dealers tend to overlook drawings; treating them as if they are a lesser form of art when compared to paintings, sculptures, and other directions. The importance of drawing is often downplayed by artists as well — specifically artists with little interest in drawing. In many ways these attitudes have conditioned the public to dismiss drawing compared to other forms of art. I, for one, feel that we should strive to change the way people think about the art of drawing.”
-Brian Sherwin

“I wanted to put together an exhibition of artists and peers who understand the value of drawing as a studio art discipline in itself. The work in this show is composed using only graphite, charcoal, or some combination of both.”
-Matthew Apol, Curator
