John Graham

Title: Curtain Wall
Medium: Gouache and ink on paper

Solo exhibition

Familiar Things at Highlanes Gallery, Drogheda, Co. Louth

16th November 2024 – 25th January 2025

John Graham makes drawings and prints by repeating ruled lines through various processes and configurations. Colour in his drawings is muted or relatively vibrant, determined by materials – graphite or acrylic ink – and how they are layered and sequenced. Recent etchings, printed in black, are folded and presented with purpose made supports. In earlier etchings and carborundum prints, his lines are more overtly gestural. Though abstract, the repetition of forms in his work relates to aspects of music, architecture and design. These connections are sometimes emphasized by how works are framed, grouped or otherwise presented.
