 | The recent explosion of interest in drawing as independent artistic medium is one of the more encouraging aspects of the contemporary art scene. An exceptional drawing practitioner with no more than the basics - paper and pencil - Brooklyn artist Michael Schall pushes these humble materials to fantastic extremes. Schall's current show at Platform Gallery features drawings whose intricate detail and colossal scale reveal an artist truly obsessed with process. Though these are message pictures, their spectacular craft is the first and foremost thing KUOW's art critic, Gary Faigin, notices. |
