Drawing 'Untitled (Inner Circle, Onomatopoeia Zoo)', Charles Avery
Drawing: Pencil, acrylic, gouache, watercolor, collage and ink on paper
Title: Untitled (Inner Circle, Onomatopoeia Zoo), 2016
Artist: Charles Avery (1973)
Another architectonic drawing, quite different than the precious work od art (see first comment box), I showed you yesterday.
(There is a strange reflection on the right side go this photo, guess it's from a drawing on the opposite wall. Sorry for that.)
Since 2004, Charles Avery, has dedicated himself to the invention of an imaginary island.
He continues to chart new corners through (large-scale) drawings, sculptures, texts and ephemera.
The Island is a vividly realized fiction, teeming with sights both strange and strangely familiar. The gateway is Onomatopoeia. Once the stopping-off point for the first pioneers, it transformed into a metropolis, including a zoo.
For Avery 'The Island' operates as a petri dish in which he tests ideas from the fields of epistemology, aesthetics, mathematics, economics, anthropology, architecture and beyond: "The Island is gymnasium for the imagination and an earnest attempt to align the experience of the viewer with that of the artist."

Museum MORE, Gorssel, The Netherlands, had last year an interesting exhibition called 'Size Matters | Monumental Drawings', where you could see dozens of large-scale and imposing drawings. All these works of art measure at least 2 meters in height of width, larger than most people themselves.
I visited this exhibition, just a day before it ended and was quite impressed. I will show you a few works. Enjoy ;-))
