GROUP DRAWING EXHIBITION
August 18, 1994

 

Originally proposed by the occupants of a commune on Berea Road, this group exhibition/ installation of drawings evolved through a rather comical series of misadventures. As the exhibition date approached, few of the commune ‘artists’ had prepared any drawings, and as the event had been advertised in our flyer we were forced to look for art elsewhere. A Scottish artist, Anthony Scullion, who was visiting Durban, supplied most of the work for show and saved the day.
Scullion’s drawings, which numbered more than twenty were hung not only on the walls but the ceiling as well. Most featured a central figure on a simple ground. These ‘characters’ were modeled and weighty, but also distorted, their gestures expressive.
Scullion later designed the cover for, South African band, Urban Creep’s 2nd album and exhibited widely in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
