Art Gallery of Hamilton Rick Pottruff s large-scale, intricate and gestural drawings of cities, bridges, cars, ships, planets and technological devices provide ample opportunity for viewers to be psychologically transported into the worlds he creates. His hybrid style combines the devices of illustration, fine art, and film. This summer, Pottruff will undertake a new large drawing that will expand over the AGH foyer wall. Incorporating images of industry, traffic and more, he will portray an explosive dystopian scene that will catapult the viewer s eye across its many detailed sections. Beginning May 12th, the artist will be in the AGH foyer, creating this drawing on site over a period of several weeks. Please come by to see how the drawing develops, and enjoy the rare opportunity to talk to the artist about his project while it s in progress.
