Jasper Johns: Recent Drawings - Matthew Marks Gallery
In 1964, Jasper Johns first used decals on his paintings, inaugurating a technique that would define his work. This exhibition presents a recent collection of drawings, testifying to an ongoing exploration of familiar motifs – flags, circles, letters – by the artist. Johns revisits these icons with obsessive precision and a deep interest in texture. The drawings reveal a meticulous process where every line, every shade is carefully studied. The exhibition highlights his mastery of composition and his bold experimentation with drawing techniques. A unique opportunity to observe the evolution of the work of a major American contemporary artist. Enter into Johns’ captivating world, where apparent simplicity hides an unparalleled intellectual and artistic complexity.
