Michael Simpson: Drawing towards Painting

American Art Catalogues New York · West Village / Union Square / Meatpacking
Exhibition on view: Jan 30, 2025 - Mar 11, 2025

Drawing towards Painting presents ten drawings by British artist Michael Simpson, coinciding with the release of 101 Drawings: Selected Works 1974 - 2024. Simpson, known for destroying many of his paintings, preserves their essence in drawings—some as remnants, others as precursors. His work, influenced by Venetian and Flemish traditions, explores motifs of faith and authority. Benches, ladders, and pulpits appear as pure forms, embodying existential themes with precision, austerity, and historical depth.
