By Hand

Hales Gallery, London

The outer limits of drawing! Hales Gallery’s first exhibition of 2002 ‘By Hand’ takes as it’s theme, the notion of the expanded perimeters of drawings conventions. The borders are now open to all would be members of the drawing fraternity some of whom may never have wielded a pencil, pen or crayon in their lives. The works in this show have been selected with an instinct for the soul and essence of drawing.

The outer limits of drawing!

Hales Gallery’s first exhibition of 2002 ‘By Hand’ takes as it’s theme, the notion of the expanded perimeters of drawings conventions.
The borders are now open to all would be members of the drawing fraternity some of whom may never have wielded a pencil, pen or crayon in their lives.
The works in this show have been selected with an instinct for the soul and essence of drawing.

Diana Cooper’s abstract meanderings rendered in marker pen and paint on paper allude to architectural detail, geological formations and even town planning!

Ann Course’s animations and wooden sculpture are surreal and full of humour and have emerged from years making simple pencil sketches.

Judith Dean’s framed plaster dice and pencil shaker frames allow the drawings to make themselves. Each being a subtle pun on chance and order.

Fieroza Doorsen’s simply painted patterns on book pages create interplay between decoration and meaning.

Mark Fraser-Bett’s delicate line drawings of his friends posed as characters from science fiction films are both awkward and delicate at the same time.

Richard Galpin’s ‘urbanscape’ photographs are worked upon with a knife so as to remove all superfluous material and present us with thumbnail sketches. Each piece invites the eye to leap between the various elements filling in the detail.

Sophie Lascelles’ ghostly super 8 loop captures the operation of an earlier period of film making as a tiny vingette of a walking woman.

Sara MacKillop’s subtle constructions made from charity shop finds present us with interplays on both a formal and poetic level.

Jamie Pitarch’s simple line drawings are deceptive. They have the appearance of cartoons but are in fact drawn around newspaper images.

Ben Ravenscroft’s oil sketches hint at the possibility of a larger work being produced from these originals, whilst leaving the status of them ambiguous.

Jane Wilbraham’s corrugated cardboard sculptures of text and images found on the streets of South East London have a back to basic ‘down home’ charm.

Sarah Woodfine’s polished, worked up pencil drawings attempt to plunder the unified qualities of surface possible in oil paintings whilst retaining the vestiges of conventional drawing techniques.
