(Artists Handwriting: Drawing, New York/Tampa)

OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY OCTOBER 3, 2008, 6-9 PM

OCTOBER 3 TO NOVEMBER 22, 2008


Bleu Acier is pleased to present New York/Tampa, Signatures d’Artistes: Dessin
(Artists Handwriting: Drawing, New York/Tampa)
.

This is the first in a series of exhibitions, starting with drawing as "signature."  Bleu Acier has invited artists from Haim Chanin Fine Arts of New York as a component of this exhibition.

Drawing is the most direct and immediate manner for an artist to express an idea and create an image. There is no way to hide behind a line. Intellect travels from a personal space into the public realm of the page. Many contemporary artists use drawing as a primary media or significant part of their oeuvre - not simply a preparatory step to painting, printmaking, sculpture or installation. Drawing allows the artist to freely investigate materials and technique, and to rapidly accelerate an idea - thereby providing the viewer with a dynamic record of an inspired thought as it unfolds.

Artists' Handwriting: Drawing New York / Tampa
is constructed around the following artists:

Neil Bender
Gregory Green
Steve McClure
Kim Anderson
Joe Griffith
Brian Taylor
Elisabeth Condon
Max Neumann
Peter Soriano
Pierre Mabille
Voshardt/Humphrey
Dominique Labauvie
Herve DiRosa
Vicky Colombet
Dominica Sanchez
Eduardo Santiere
Harvey Tulcensky
Claudia Scalise
Theo Wujcik
