| Collectors statement...I have eight of Pyper's drawings. Living with them, seeing them everyday on the wall, something happens. I begin to see the drawings in highway lines, in the sky at night. Pyper's artwork requires its own explanation because he says very little , reveals almost nothing of his thinking. Mostly, I suspect, because the drawings sort of come over him, arrive at the end of his hand maybe complete. The drawings of Ian Pyper...some in ink, marker or watercolors, metallic ink on paper, plain and colored. So that's the technical specs...the rest is up to you and him. | |||
