Louis Jansen van Vuuren - Oneiric Tones
‘Drawing is the art of being able to leave an accurate record of the experience of what one isn’t, of what one doesn’t know. If one of the purposes of life is to know oneself, then a great deal of time is pent investigating things one already knows. So a great drawing is either confirming beautifully what is commonplace, or probing authoritatively the unknown.’
– Brett Whiteley. Tangiers notebook,1967
The series of works embody a visual exploration around a central evocative theme, culminating in a sequence of monochrome charcoal works and larger format colour pastel drawings.
