William Kentridge the South African artist has a major exhibition at the Yorkshire sculpture park called “ The pull of gravity “. It was a remarkable collection of pieces sculpture painting and drawing . The best part of the show that was impossible to photograph were two films shown over eight huge screens in the YSP largest gallery they were extraordinary . The show is till April so if you are in the UK and can get to the YSP you are in for a treat.

 

William Kentridge (born 28 April 1955) is a South African artist best known for his prints, drawings, and animated films. He is especially noted for a sequence of hand-drawn animated films he produced during the 1990s, constructed by filming a drawing, making erasures and changes, and filming it again. He continues this process meticulously, giving each change to the drawing a quarter of a second's to two seconds' screen time. A single drawing will be altered and filmed this way until the end of a scene. These palimpsest-like drawings are later displayed along with the films as finished pieces of art.

Kentridge has created artwork as part of design of theatrical productions, both plays and operas. He has served as art director and overall director of numerous productions, collaborating with other artists, puppeteers and others in creating productions that combine drawings and multi-media combinations.
