The same routine for many years. Sometimes with music, other times in complete silence. I draw things that are close to me, everyday objects, but also things I have photographed throughout the day: details, buildings, tools, landscapes. It is a way of remembering what was lived and transferring it to the space of a sheet of paper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor several years I was interested in representing all of this through the line, understood as the primary unit of drawing. A bottle, nine lines. A landscape, sixteen. Drawing became a problem to be solved using a specific number of marks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost two years ago I began a new investigation: to stop thinking of drawing in terms of line and begin to think of it in terms of form. I also abandoned technical drawing instruments in favour of a more immediate way of drawing: a pencil, a sheet of paper, and the movement of the hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe drawings gathered in this volume are the result of this process. What interests me lies not so much in the representation of reality as in the reality of representation, in the way the drawing is constructed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terry's Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53138375639306,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/6293\/6074\/files\/Jose_drawingbeforegoingtosleep_cover.png?v=1780326207","url":"https:\/\/www.terrybleu.com\/products\/drawings-before-going-to-sleep","provider":"Terry's Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
