Details drawing 'Toad' (Hans de Wit)
Hans de Wit (1952) starts his drawings by setting down a finely meshed grid of dots, "to get hold of the larger scale. The scale makes the drawing a physical 'opponent': it overwhelms you physically and psychologically. Being able to take the whole thing from a distance and experiencing motifs, details and structures at close range are crucial my work".
After reading this text, I decided to take a few close-ups so you can see the dots and other details much better.
Tomorrow I will show you the complete version of the Toad. Now you can use your own imagination, if you want, about how it will look like. ;-))
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 ;-))
