A couple of decades ago I was really into figurative work, running life drawing sessions at several schools and studios in Vancouver, BC. Three to four times per week for 6 years I did this, and wound up with a big stack of works on paper. Some of the works sold and some were lost in a series of moves, but I still own a few favourites.
I had just one showing of these figurative works at Basic Inquiry, where I also ran a couple of sessions per week. It was the old location of the Basic Inquiry studio, with 5 big walls which I basically papered with my drawings! Here are a couple of images from that exhibition:
This has all come up because I'm in the process of updating my website. I've got some of my portraits on the site, and I thought it would be good to show some of the history of that work. It's been an interesting trip down memory lane, as I have not looked at my old life drawing photos in years.
For the last decade or so my work has been focussed on urban and now abstract work, but here is a little peek into my history. It is important to remember who we are.
