Keith Tyson: Studio Wall Drawings

November 21, 2007—January 5, 2008

Haunch of Venison is delighted to present a ten year survey exhibition of British artist Keith Tyson’s Studio Wall Drawings; an ongoing series of complex works on paper which record the artist’s thought process and working practice. Of the works Tyson comments, “The Studio Wall Drawings exist in a space somewhere between a map, a poem, a diary and a painting”.

In the late ‘90s, after years of working with machines and methods based on randomness Tyson began working on Studio Wall Drawings, which provided a more personal means of mapping out new ideas. Acting as large format notepads the subject of the works soon developed to include individual experiences and world events. The day oil prices reached $50, the birth of Tyson’s first child, foot and mouth disease, and the artist’s own conception are some of the moments recorded.
