Modes of contemporary drawing cover realism, abstraction, modernism and post-modernism. The state of
drawing today is not governed by specific themes, but rather the idea that the choices that artists contend
with over surface, mark-making, space, composition, scale, materials, and intentionality, are essential to
the delivery of the visual quality and meaning of the drawing, or are themselves the image and meaning.2
From the intensely gestural, to the cool intellectual contrivances that entrust the making of marks to the
wind and tide, it seems like anything goes in drawing today.
