DRAW Space is delighted to present work by nine artists in the exhibition GRAPHITE, curated by Belinda Yee.

GRAPHITE takes a fresh look at an art medium that has been in use for millennia. The exhibition revisits graphite through the lens of nine contemporary Australian drawers, each offering a unique perspective on the medium’s material potential. For seasoned artists who know graphite's shape-shifting character, this show celebrates a long-standing companion while foregrounding its lesser-known qualities.

GRAPHITE features the work of Matthew Allen, Fiona Currey-Billyard, collaborators Chris Casali and Graziela Guardino, Armando Chant, Katelyn Geard, Joyce Hinterding, Annelies Jahn and Belinda Yee.
