Franz Erhard Walther : DRAWINGS

LINE/FRAME/ACTION/DRAWN NOVEL

An essay by Stephanie Straine (PhD candidate, University College London and Tate Gallery, AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award Holder).

‘For Franz Erhard Walther drawing is not a static medium but rather a materially fluid generator of work processes, conceptual experiments and imaginative participation. Across a practice that ranges freely between graphic typography, painting on paper, artist’s books, sculpture, photography, installation, actions and public demonstrations, the category of drawing emerges as an insistent presence explored through the continually transferable concepts of line, frame and action’.
