15th June- 15thJuly 2012
Tony’s Gallery is to present ‘Velodrawings’, a solo exhibition by Berlin-based Austrian bicycle-drawing artist, Christian Grillitsch. This unique artist makes beautiful and engaging artworks by skidding his bicycle wheel across the canvas.The final result, with the depths of texture and the detailed precision of the marks, opens a space where the gestural process is at once controlled and accidental, dynamic and quietly organic – and where the artist relinquishes some of his control to embrace the almost cognitive input of his collaborator, the bicycle.
Thursday performance by the artist at 7.30pm in the car park opposite Tony’s Gallery (Sclater Street, Shoreditch).
