    Jason McCoy, the significance of light

    Jason McCoy, the one who best understands the significance of light

    DRAWING CHALLENGE XXI

    We would like to congratulate Tamara Krendel, Gerri Rachins and Andra Samelson for being the featured contestants of our Drawing Challenge XXI, which was inspired by the below listed words of
    Kōbō Abe (1924 - 1993), cited from his novel The Face of Another (1964).

    "Leaving the Skeletons Behind" 2020, Acrylic, paper, mesh, image transfers and metal collage on canvas, 24 by 36 inches

    “Still, the one who best understands the significance of light is not the electrician, not the painter, not the photographer, but the man who lost his sight in adulthood. There must be the wisdom of deficiency in deficiency, just as there is the wisdom of plenty in plenty.”


    We are pleased to present a larger selection of submissions in the accompanying virtual exhibition
