Nicholas Katranis - Drawings 2020-2024 - Art Exhibition

Nicholas Katranis - Drawings 2020-2024 - Art Exhibition

Since 2020, I've started making marker drawings, which took away my ability to erase unwanted lines. I thus started to make a very different kind of drawing, in addition to the ongoing pencil drawings.

For a while in my adolescence, I became fascinated by architecture, and drew everything with rulers. The free, curvilinear drawing on display here was a reaction to that highly-structured method. However, recently, architectural details (stairs, rooflines) have started to re-appear in these biomorphic abstractions.

I read the nature of the lines in my drawings as being abstracted from the human body, as well as the increasingly curvilinear forms of technological products seeking to be more "high-touch”, to somewhat hide the decidedly “no-touch" world of the structure of the machines themselves.

So, in short, you have the environment (designed objects) and inhabitant (human body) together. The rest is a mystery to me, but a compelling one.
