How do you lift a dr

How do you lift a drawing off a page? This complex thought is at the heart of #EnricoDavid’s work. The starting point for all of his sculptures, installations, paintings, textiles, and collages is drawing. As for method, David is a polymath who revels in exploring materials. He sometimes fuses or unites more than one material in a single object – bronze, wood, vinyl, copper, patinated steel, expanding foam, pigment, wool, wax, silicone rubber, graphite, bone, acrylic, even Vaseline to name a few. Once he has chosen the best medium to manifest a drawing, he rarely strays from his decision. In his own words, ‘It just becomes really fixed. It becomes pure execution.’ — Enrico David, ‘Untitled’, 2018, wool on cotton, via @MichaelWernerGallery | Galleries 2019 #artbasel2019 #artbasel
