OXFORD EXHIBITION
A Slice Through the World: Contemporary Artists’ Drawings
Modern Art Oxford
Until September 9
Digital images are increasingly ubiquitous, but this exhibition sets out to demonstrate that the physical power of drawing still makes a potent impact in the digital age. It brings together a dynamic selection of recent works by 14 international artists who are committed to the materiality of paper and pencil, showcasing a remarkable attention to detail and skill.
In an age of mass media, where the rapid proliferation of images leaves many on the verge of digital exhaustion, A Slice Through the World explores the power of traditional drawing to make us slow down and reconsider how we look at the world. On show are works by ruby onyinyechi amanze (pictured), Nidhal Chamekh, Milano Chow, Kate Davis, Karl Haendel, David Haines, Ian Kiaer, Ciprian Muresan, David Musgrave, Wura-Natasha Ogunji, Kathy Prendergast, Massinissa Selmani, Lucy Skaer and Barbara Walker.
