Drawn from Photography

Drawn from Photography is a group exhibition focused on a growing trend within drawing: the meticulous translation of images from photographs and photo-based media. The accompanying publication features works by thirteen artists concentrating on instances of social and political transformation from the last two centuries. Illuminating texts, including Lynne Tillman’s genre-crossing fiction “Drawing from a Translation Artist,” accompany a range of works including Emily Prince’s drawn archive of every fallen American serviceman and woman in Iraq; D-L Alvarez, Andrea Bowers, Sam Durant, and Frank Selby’s renderings of iconic photos of political uprisings.
