Description: The drawings staggered towards the margins. Their jagged insistence corrected the unpleasant regularity of the New York evening. There was an accidental-seeming balance to them, the compositional genius of a shipwreck. A falling together collected. Either they were remarkable or you were hallucinating. There are so many drawings, probably far too many, and, at times, you feel ill-equipped to evaluate the jots and jabs saturating your consciousness. Good, bad - these are flimsy tools to staple down what's shambling out towards your eyes. But you bought a few instead of a handbag or a turkey, and beheld their muddy faces. You conversed with the man who made them, who was cheery, quick, charming, insistent, lovely, pragmatic, occasionally rageful, but relatably so. Exhibition: Loyal, Stockholm, Sweden (20.03-15.05.2021)
