Erase You (Jonah Alexander)

About

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Centred around the eraser as a way to make the drawing process malleable and fluid, Jonah explores how reduction affects image. Each participant will bring a figurine as well as a black and white photo which will be used to draw from alongside an eraser. This process of erasure to Jonah, is in kinship to painting. Through exercises which explore short and extended ways of reductive drawing we’re prompted to think about how we create space through drawing but also by using the white of the paper.

Materials are included.

Evening workshop format: Our series of Evening workshops will focus on extending drawing through low-tech, low cost, DIY techniques. The creatives leading each workshop are young and emerging, yet each is working in a strong and accomplished way with their approach and materials. Curated by Issey Kang.

WHO
Anyone who is interested in drawing or who draws but would like to try out new materials and techniques centred on drawing.

BIO
Jonah, a Slade Fine Art graduate, is primarily a painter whose drawing practice feeds into his painting. His work is autobiographical, making paintings as a way of processing his emotions and as a space of contemplation. His more recent figurative work shows an interplay of personal narratives and wider culture conversations, psycho-sexual relationships, archetypal figures and symbols. Instagram: @jonahalexndr
