Hosted at the Gilbert & George Centre
With sketchbooks kindly provided by Pith.
Join us for a contemplative and creative morning of mark making and drawing, set within the walls of The Gilbert & George Centre, where art meets life in its rawest, strangest, and most luminous forms.
This session takes inspiration from the current exhibition 'DEATH HOPE LIFE FEAR…' a vivid collection of 18 works spanning the 1980s and 90s. Within this space of colour, contradiction, and quiet intensity, participants will be invited to explore their own visual responses through texture, line, and gesture.
Led by Cecilie from artist duo Gilles & Cecilie, the workshop will offer a series of exercises to explore expressive drawing techniques, perfect for beginners, professionals and anyone looking to reconnect with their creative self.
Cecilie will bring a box of tools.
You'll experiment with a variety of materials from pencil and charcoal to pastels and ink brush pens using the visual language of the exhibition as a springboard for personal reflection and playful exploration.
All participants will receive a sketchbook kindly provided by Pith.
Some tools will be available, but please bring along any favourite materials of your own.
Let the colours speak. Let the lines wander.
Drawing is seeing. Drawing is documenting, diary, a conversation with yourself and your surrounding.
The Travelling Drawing Club was established by Gilles and Cecilie studio in 2011. For the purpose of meeting old friends and new friends to draw wherever they travelled and worked. Since then more than 60 clubs from Toten to Tokyo in botanical gardens, museums, fields, bellevues, inside and outside.
We are excited to host our drawing club number 61 at The Gilbert and George Centre. Saturday the 27th of September.
