press release

ADN Galeria is pleased to present a new drawers generation in a collective exhibition dedicated to drawing.

Acknowledged as previous exercise to any kind of artistic creation, drawing is currently considered an independent artistic field within contemporary art scene. Borders among different practices soften as drawing’s immediacy, freshness and versatility get stronger thanks to its high expressive, narrative and plastic means.

Far from conceptuality and strictness, drawing shows innocence, freedom but also transparency becoming source of inside processes that may outcome as artwork.

Drawing is emotional, experiential, a narrative trip from the inside to reach the outside, it digs into irrationality and repression claiming personal and unique realms, occasionally bordering utopia.Drawing also encompasses a debate between high artistic means and low artistic outputs, drawing as individual grammar that allows another way of thinking using very simple tools: a paper and a pencil is enough to write drawing.

Clearly influenced by comic, urban posters, graffiti stencils and cartoons, Drawing & Dreaming reinforces drawing as a format that proposes new conception of society under humorous, critical and why not, satirical perspective.
