This year being another year of disruptions somehow a terrific number of works were submitted and, as should be expected, all were of a high standard. Drawing has the power to convey seemingly simply in eye - mind - hand purity, a line, a tone, a smudge into a shape, a form or a negative space and into the simplest of drawn statement or most complex of inferred or explicit concept.
Several of the works did stretch us and I think that is important that we rest not in the comfortable but are somehow pushing or breaking out of the Whatman's envelope. I feel artists let alone the art followers need to be shown that drawing is not just a stepping stone in the process of a achieving a great painting it is a stand alone great genre in itself.
