Hyperdrawing: Beyond the Lines of Contemporary Art

by Phil Sawdon

In Hyperdrawing: Beyond the Lines of Contemporary Art, authors and artists come together to explore the potential of what drawing in contemporary art theory and practice might become. In this follow-up to 2007's Drawing Now: Between the Lines of Contemporary Art, the editors of TRACEY curate contemporary drawing within fine art practice from 2006 through to 2010. Four essays and images from 33 international artists collectively explore the boundaries of the hyperdrawing space, investigating in essence what lies beyond drawing-images that use traditional materials or subjects whilst also pushing beyond the traditional, employing sound, light, time, space and technology.A gallery in book form, Hyperdrawing takes drawing beyond the interaction of pencil and paper and traces contemporary adventures in multiple dimensions and alternate realities.

[Aaron the Pink Donut · Rating 3 out of 5]

interesting collection of work that spans the gambit from hyper realistic to high concept drawing. The environmental drawing of Ultan Coyle and the performance drawing of John Court are the real stars of this book.
