Drawing Notebook
Review by N.F. Carlins, Artnet.com Magazine, October 2001
Also exhilarating is new work by the seasoned, Canadian-born artist
Sky Pape. At first glance the pieces in Sky Pape's "Silver Linings:
Graphite Drawings" at June Kelly look like burnished aluminum
disks in low relief against a flat background. At least the flat
background is accurate. Pape uses only graphite in a freehand-drawn
circle to conjure up a glowing central disc against pale yellow
milk paint on board. Seemingly three-dimensional planes shimmer
and dance before the viewer's eyes. The shifting light effects are
magical, seeming to emanate from a space deep inside the picture
plane. The light then reaches out and vibrates within the beholder.
Nature and Eastern esthetics are put to excellent use in these coolly
luminous pieces.
