Disturbing drawings: how Laurie Lipton reveals our inner darkness
Date: 2021-07-03 00:00:00

I recently watched this half-hour documentary on one of today's most amazing (and most under-appreciated) artists, Laurie Lipton. In a compelling interview, she talks about her drawings, background, and ideas. She also tells a story about a horrifying and pivotal moment in her life. Lipton was kidnapped as a child, and this experience led her to become an artist. The video also shows many close-ups of her astonishing graphite drawings, which I could look at for hours. Lipton's drawings almost always feature dark subject matter, and are made up of an obsessive amount of tiny, meticulous, crosshatched lines. I became fascinated with Lipton's drawings when I was in high school, and I never cease to be amazed by the way she draws.
