Everything
weve ever stolen has been lost returned or broken,
no more dragons left to slay
Every mistake Ive ever made has been rehashed and then replayed,
as I got lost along the way
The
Road to Mandalay Robbie Williams
Transition presents
a collection of drawings hovering in the space between
fine art and illustration, connected by the liberating concept of
I dont care how Im meant to do it Im doing
it this way. These drawings, often described by outlines,
have a heartfelt awkwardness that is as far removed from the gestural
freedom of the art class as is possible. They are not easy
come, there is an underlying complexity at odds with their
deceptively simple surfaces and their presence is accompanied by
copious amounts of their creators blood sweat and tears. The moniker Scritch
Scratch delineates this particular kind of drawing, cerebral, projective
and outside the art school. This work is seared on to
its support leaving an imprint akin to one a child might leave when
they press too hard on their paper. This is art that lives in the
real world and not in some rarefied fine art laboratory.
