Artist Statement:
Mark Reep’s intimate, richly
detailed Ink, Graphite, and
Charcoal drawings invite close
examination: “The more
closely you look,” Mark says,
“the more you'll find in them.
My drawings offer windows on
quiet places, quiet moments.
They’re about solitary
wanderings, about daydreams,
reflections. They’re about
drawing a calming breath, or
seizing inspiration- Moments
when, as Robert Henri said,
‘we seem to see beyond the
usual.’ And so, hopefully my
drawings may serve as doors of
a sort, as well.”
"Each drawing begins with a
pencil sketch on heavyweight,
acid-free Bristol Board; I
then begin creating inked
elements using the traditional
pen-and-ink technique of
stippling. Building up layers
of tiny ink dots is seldom
quick work- But in an age of
digital image editors, this
time-honored process remains
my medium of choice, and the
best way I’ve found to develop
most textures I want to
achieve."
"Other elements are often
begun with powdered charcoal,
applied with much less
traditional tools, including
cotton balls and Q-Tips. With
a loose charcoal
‘underpainting’ established, I
begin developing detail with
graphite pencils and kneaded
erasers." To read more about
