Jeff Doring, James Grose, and Tony Twigg are artists who continue to work, explore, and expand their drawing practices in the later decades of their lives.
Jeff exhibited at Gallery A, Sydney, and made films focused on three visionary artists, Tidikawa, Morris Louis, and Wibalma, with the book Gwion Gwion. He draws in response to his experiences and the sandstone country at Origma creek where he lives.
James retired from an illustrious career in architecture to study art at the National Art School. He creates intensely hermetic diagrammatic drawings that index experiences, phenomena and ideas.
Tony is an urban artist and experimental gallerist (Slot Projects, Slot Window) who has exhibited since the 1970s and has strong connections with contemporary art in the Philippines. He remains an ardent drawer and constructor of hybrid forms entangling drawing, painting, and sculpture.
Each has developed individuated visual, material and procedural practices, informed and inspired by place, the course of their lives, knowledge of art and alternative cultural histories.
Join the artists and DRAW Space community to celebrate from 6pm, Thursday 28 May.
