James Nelson Exhibition
McKenzie Fine Art
This event has ended.
James Nelson has always made drawings, working largely in graphite or charcoal on handmade Japanese or Chinese papers. Recent exhibitions explored narrative representation: in his 2007 exhibition, Head of a Girl, charcoal drawings of coils of hair veered from near-complete abstraction to representational renditions inspired by a Veronese drawing. For the 2011 show Two-Ton Hammer, Nelson created rhythmic configurations of hammers in charcoal and graphite along with playful renditions of ears in graphite and colored pencil in homage to a long-time musical friendship. After that exhibition, the artist felt the need to return to creating fully abstract works, uniting the nuances of graphite with the boldness possible with charcoal.
