Lauren Simkin BerkeNotes on Gesture

New works on paper drawn with thick paint markers, plus observational drawings and handmade books from two years of practice.

Berke moves from twenty years of small, fine-line pen drawing to larger, faster drawings in paint marker that involve the whole hand, arm and body. The works act as notations, catching a moment, observed or imagined, in a way that can call up a memory.

The show covers two years: improvisational drawings made through a process the artist calls “shapes into things,” observational drawings of their summer home, and handmade books. It is their sixth solo show at A.I.R.
