Tim Biskup: Emergent Closing Event

Tim Biskup: EMERGENT 

Expanded Edition / Closing Ceremony 

Saturday 1/27 

5-8pm 

A simultaneous expansion and contraction of this amazing show

For the past 15 years, Tim Biskup has been perfecting a style of monochrome graphite drawings on paper that has come to define his artistic practice.

The abstract images he creates with a single block of graphite draw on modernist forms simultaneously reminiscent of the Isamu Noguchi and Henry Moore.

Biskup has garnered tens of millions of views of his live drawing videos posted to his @tbiskup account on Instagram. Many of the works created live on this platform will be exhibited as part of EMERGENT.

Culled from thousands of finished drawings and studies Biskup’s Face Guts exhibition examines the process and breadth of this body of his work and includes works created throughout the 2020 pandemic and some as recently as the day of the closing event.

In addition Whitebox.LA also produced a fully illustrated full color catalog with an essay by author Jesse Pearson

EMERGENT is a deep dive into Biskup’s archive by the artist’s friend, photographer Joshua White who’s WhiteBox.LA recently teamed up with Biskup & his Face Guts Gallery to present Darius Airo’s drawing exhibition, “Casual Banter”.
