NYAB Event - Tom Otterness “Metal on Paper”

Tom Otterness “Metal on Paper”

Marlborough (Midtown)

This event has ended.

The Directors of Marlborough Gallery announces Metal on Paper: Silverpoint, Copperpoint, and Steelpoint Drawings, an exhibition of works on paper and new stainless steel sculptures by Tom Otterness.

To create the silverpoint, copperpoint, and steelpoint drawings that make up the exhibition, the artist draws with metal on prepared paper. His stylus leaves permanent metallic traces on paper that has been treated with clay, ash, and pigments, creating a sandpaper-like surface. Using the rarified technique of masters such as Albrecht Dürer and Leonardo Da Vinci, Otterness brings his own considerable skills as a draftsman, character maker and social commentator. The artist’s familiar lively beings who are frequently nudged by the angst of the everyday are given fresh form. In these metal on paper works, the sculptural and the graphic become enduringly united.
