'Claudette' is a watercolour painting on paper made for the Drawing Biennial 2019 at the Drawing Room, London. 'Claudette' was developed as a result of two recent larger works - 'Flying Fox' made in 2018 for CAMPLE LINE in rural Dumfriesshire and 'Dance Number' made in 2017 for the outside of the Mackintosh Building at Glasgow School of Art, while restoration took place.
The Drawing Biennale is described as an 'exhibition and auction of over 200 unique drawings, showcasing the most exciting artists working today. Including works using every imaginable technique, Drawing Biennial 2019 affirms the centrality of drawing to all spheres of artistic production. The exhibition includes more than 200 new and recent works on paper by leading international artists of different generations'.
Artists have been invited to make an original drawing by Drawing Room directors Mary Doyle, Kate Macfarlane and Katharine Stout, with additional nominations by leading international artists, museum directors, curators and collectors.
Drawing Biennial 2019 signals the diversity of artists’ imagination, demonstrating the vitality and importance of drawing today.
A publication was made with a commissioned essay to accompany the exhibition.
