I chose to doodle out Lacoön's face as depicted by the ancient statue (described by Pliny the Elder), aptly called "Lacoön and his Sons" for no particular reason other than I couldn't find a better example of human suffering that was still somehow humorous. The Greeks tended to exaggerate decadently, and somehow found opulence in other people's anguish... I lost my car keys one morning last week, and after having to pay way too much money to replace it, felt like reminding myself that my inconvenience that day only bothered me because of my profound narcissism, and real pain looked a little more dramatic.

This series was drawn in the early '80s, somewhere in a small house in Eagle Rock. Steven is a trombonist and his wife, Rose Corrigan, is a bassoonist. Arielle Antosca and Stella Rosen
The first time I saw Arielle's drawings, I was taken by their freedom, movement, and struggle. I was amazed by the line they walked between representation and abstraction. 'Timid Drawer' is a collection of images conceived and drawn by Arielle Antosca, which I have washed, shaved, and trimmed. Arielle is a self described "timid drawer", who is new to the challenge of interpreting the world by her own hand and with her own artistic vision. Across this piece, Arielle is overcoming her 'artistic shyness' and rediscovering her own willingness to let herself relax and draw, which is something she had previously felt blocked by and avoided. These images are literally odds and ends, and have turned up in every medium on the backside of calendar pages, in various sketchbooks, and in a certain drawer of a certain table at the Beacon Hill Victrola. |
