Drawing Center to Launch 'Drawing People' with Chloe Piene & Dasha Shishkin

Join us Wednesday, June 24 at the Drawing Center, where Executive Director Brett Littman will host a conversation with artists Chloe Piene and Dasha Shishkin, two of the featured artists in Drawing People, our new survey of innovative contemporary figure drawing. Piene and Shishkin will discuss their practices and lives within one of the most creatively rich and emotionally powerful forms of art being made today. Book signing to follow.

Drawing Center to Launch 'Drawing People' with Chloe Piene & Dasha Shishkin
ABOVE: Dasha Shishkin, "I Don't Want Any Problems, None What So Ever" (2007).

The act of drawing has long been considered the foundation of an artistic education, and the life class essential to the formation of an artist's style and technique. Yet in the contemporary art world, drawing is increasingly regarded as a medium in its own right, and the figure as a subject for ongoing exploration well beyond the sketchbook. Drawing People—the publication—is a thoughtful and beautifully illustrated survey of the most compelling and inventive drawings of the human form being produced today by seventy contemporary artists from around the world.
