What a privilege to have as a drawing teacher an artist who draws—who draws space, volumes, movement, displacement—who thinks with drawing in their head, who constantly draws within their mind: HEAD Drawings…
They are eleven students—who think, who draw from their imagination, gathering images from everyday life, moving through the world like cats, writing their drawings, poeticising reality and exploring the shift between the real and the unreal, their desires to transform reality, the metamorphoses of water into droplets, seeking magical paths and their own way through their genealogy, through past time, within the walls as if they were ghosts…
They are called Garance, Ozinzinzizi, Julie, Razene, Mélie, Clara, Henry, Laurel, Simon, Jasmine, Kim Pearl, and they are engaged in this timeless practice of drawing—the shortest route from brain to image—HEAD—the simplest, most immediate, sometimes the most sophisticated…
A world that draws is a world that imagines the future, that recreates the world again, redraws it, sets it straight, opens other paths, other possibilities. Eleven new worlds to discover on the walls, eleven inner worlds that dare—dare to expose themselves—from their HEADs to the walls, and the gallery walls begin to speak, eleven different languages, exchanging, delighting us in these eleven new worlds… Aren’t there really twelve?
The exhibition is a drawing of the gallery space, a way to present and represent the future worlds offered to us, and the exhibition was drawn in the teacher’s mind long before all twelve of them entered Analix Forever.
The gallery walls tremble with anticipation for this one-night celebration, HEAD DRAWINGS! Thank you all,
