This is a drawing of a chair, on paper, by an anonymous artist. There’s something deeply satisfying about the simple lines of this piece. It’s all about process, you know? The artist is working out the structure of the chair, almost like a diagram. Look at the seat, the way the lines converge, creating a sense of depth and texture, even though it’s just pencil on paper. It feels like the artist is really trying to understand the chair, not just represent it. Each line is carefully considered, a testament to the act of seeing and translating that vision onto the page. It reminds me of the work of Agnes Martin; the quiet precision, the meditative quality. It’s more than just a drawing of a chair, it's a study in observation and form. Like a conversation, each line responds to the next, building a structure, and revealing the beauty in the everyday.
