vinnie_bagwell.jpg Exhibition @ ArtsWestchester: Pushing the Line: Drawing in An Age of Anxiety
Opening reception: Thurs, Oct 24, 6-8:30pm. On view: Oct 25 – Nov 30, 2013. Gallery hours Tues-Sat 12-5pm.

Without a ruler, it’s impossible to draw a straight line without wandering off course. The 12 exhibiting artists in Pushing the Line: Drawing in an Age of Anxiety, curated by Neil Watson and on view at ArtsWestchester October 24 - November 30, 2013, aren’t afraid of an imperfect line. They embrace the expressiveness, individuality, and potential of drawing and unhinge our expectations of the medium. Ink, pencil, pastel, heat plates, mud, video, and tape are among the variety of materials on display, with works ranging in size and style from intimate representational pieces to large scale abstractions.

Humorous vignettes about the neuroses and angst of modern living by iconic New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast, illustrations by award-winning artist Peter Sis (the artist behind the famous Amadeus film poster), and much more will “push the line” in ArtsW’s Peckham and Shenkman galleries. RSVP for the opening reception to LBanks@artswestchester.org.
