NYAB Event - “Tip Top” Exhibition

“Tip Top” Exhibition

Greenpoint Terminal Gallery

This event has ended.

Drawing is explosive, it is direct, and it is amoral. Drawing is honest, and deceitful, it is raw, out of control, and it is measured, it is the pristine page of a notebook and also debris of the studio floor. Drawing is the wellspring of the mind pouring onto the page – the most direct form of visual communication.

Greenpoint Terminal Gallery is please to present TIP TOP, a group show of drawings from artists with various approaches, techniques, and motives within the medium.
