Artistic expression often germinates from a single mark. A line becomes a drawn form; a two-dimensional representation is interpreted as a three-dimensional form in the viewer's eye; a drawn thought brought to life. The three artists represented in Drawing As Core; Karen Esler, Laura Ross-Paul, and Renée Zangara, each employ a unique visual language, yet all share a reliance on "drawing" as the point of origin in their process.
This exhibition will be a collection of large-scale, singular installations, where each artist's work will represent a specific material response to and elaboration of the drawing process. Esler's panoramic mural on synthetic paper is executed almost exclusively with densely worked charcoal. Ross-Paul's constellation of painted panels integrates dry marks with predominately fluid media. Zangara's work, a series of three paper scrolls suspended from a massive, freestanding frame, literally bridges Esler's and Ross-Paul's work, appearing to be equal parts drawn line and brushed on color.
