Exhibition DARK DRAWN in Vilnius
Dark Drawn aims at being a powerful statement through the medium of drawing. Through recent decades drawing has fortified its position as a challenging opponent to other media, capable of astounding audiences with untraditional and unexpected manoeuvres. In order to present this to a wider audience, we have attempted to compile a drawing exhibition that combines traditions with contemporaneity. These art works show drawing as neither an academic exercise nor a sketch, but as a complete and definitive artistic statement. |
