ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

This exhibit features several drawings done in colored pencil on paper, from artist Don Lewallen's series Drawings from Juzes.

The shapes in Don's drawings may appear non-referential yet there is a lingering sense of the familiar as he draws from multiple sources and subjects of interest, that attract his eye and that he utilizes to develop meaning.

In these drawing colored pencils articulate and unite the often disparate forms into an enigmatic consciousness, moving through many different marks: rough, cross-hatched, controlled line, smooth gradation.

Choosing colors is Don's delight and gives exuberance to emphasize space or call attention to an area. Ultimately, the forms come together to reconstitute the KNOWN, to create a new spatial habitat for the forms to exist.
