The Recent Drawings and Ceramics of David Fullarton

David Fullarton balances striking figurative drawing with humorous and conceptual text work, with recent work that leans wholly in either direction. His recent plates, in particular, show his knack for the deceptively simple. Fullarton was last featured on cctvta.com here.

“He inhabits a dingy studio filled with half empty notebooks, scraps of paper covered in scribbled phrases and other random ephemera that he incorporates into his artwork,” a statement says. “These elements represent the often overlooked stuff of daily life , which is the root of Mr Fullarton’s inspiration. He sees beauty in the ways people manage to find joy and meaning in the minutiae.”

Eric Green's meticulously detailed drawings replicate life beautifully- but there is something off about them. "When you really begin to understand life, everything changes completely all the time. Nothing is ever the same again," he says. Working primarily in colored pencil, Green draws images that are meant to change our perceptions by illustrating the subtleties between moments as light changes and objects are mysteriously moved by unseen occupants.
In the series “Marquees Tropica,” illustrator Ardneks crafted works “reflecting different stages” of his personal life, with each completed with a single song on repeat. The result is a set of vibrant, wild works packed with details to decipher. The artist’s practice has included album covers for multiple acts, but this series takes a decidedly intimate slant, as compared to those pieces. The above work, titled "COASTAL JUiCEBOX" was made alongside the tune "風の回廊(コリドー)" by Tatsuro Yamashita.
As we are living in a digital age, it's safe to say that typewriters are an artifact of the past. But for Rachel Mulder, an artist living in Portland, Oregon, the classic typing machine still proves to be an important creative tool. With a meticulous eye, and even more patience, Mulder uses her typewriter as a way to "draw" from old photographs, keystroke by keystroke. "There is something so special in the error of the human hand," she says, "-that I enjoy while conversely and fretfully attempting to attain perfection."
The acrylic paintings and drawings of Cristòfol Pons are visions of converging realities: past and future, art history and something otherworldly. His characters and visual motifs, though consistent throughout his work, point in varying directions. As he’s said, “The present is just a moment that vanishes at every step, the past is a blurry haze and future a horizon longing to fade.” He will at times point to the recognizable, perhaps a piece by Jeff Koons or a historical icon, yet only as a point of entry into something else entirely.
