Drawing Inspiration From

Drawing is one of humanity's earliest forms of expression, predating written language. Showcasing works by eleven artists, each demonstrating the creativity of drawing with various mediums, including charcoal, Indian ink, crayon, graphite, pastels, and pencil. These artists elevate drawing from a preparatory step to a respected art form. From the intricate patterns found in nature to the deep stories woven into human experiences, each drawing reflects engagement with the world around us. Their influences come together on paper as lines, forms, and compositions that invite viewers to ‘Draw Inspiration From’.

With works by: William Boissevain, Brendon Darby, Ian de Souza, Ken Done, Jody Graham, Donald Green, Alan Muller, Christopher Orchard, Ross Potter, Kiara Rechichi-Baker and Dr Seuss.
