40 artists whose drawing styles and line are at once so distinctive an
authoritative that their work is unmistakably recognizable as their own.
The artists included in the exhibition are: Pablo Picasso, George Grosz,
Saul Steinberg, H.C. Westermann, Chris Ware, Anna Sommer, Genevieve Castree,
Marc Bell, Elvis Studio (Reumann + Robel), Adam Dant, Scott Teplin, Martin

Included in the exhibition is Pablo Picassos ink drawing Deux Vielles Femme Contemplant LAmour, 1970, that is typical of the artists unmistakable, sinuous, fine line. It depicts an almost comic, grotesque scene showing two haggard, old women ravaged by age, seated alongside a perfectly well formed little baby. In Saul Steinbergs Declaration of Independence, 1959, the artists virtuoso line and calligraphic style mimics the words and letters of the famous document, while in reality these are nonsensical scribbles. Also included in the exhibition Included will be Geneva based Elvis Studios (Helge Reumann + Xavier Robel) epic drawing Elvis Road, 2001, a one foot by thirty foot scroll drawing of a dense, hypnotic, fantastical metropolis. The Zurich artist, Anna Sommer, creates distinctive drawing collages of cut colored paper depicting sexy bedroom scenarios such as Taboo, 2007. Also included in the exhibition is Marc Bells Skinny Fighter Pilot on a Stink Reconnaissance, 2007, is an animated, fine line ink an watercolor drawing teeming with quasi people among text rife with free association. The gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11:00 - 5:30 P.M. The gallery will be closed from December 25 through January 1.
