This publication brings together 155 drawings produced daily by Xavier Veilhan between March 2020 and 2021. Organized both chronologically and serially, the drawings trace shifting moments in which styles, explicit and implicit references, color, and elementary geometric forms intersect and contend.
Spanning portraits and landscapes, bestiary motifs and architectural studies, the drawings extend Veilhan’s sustained inquiry into representation and the translation of ideas into form. Moving fluidly between figuration and abstraction, familiarity and estrangement, the works reveal a practice attentive to modernity and to the tension between visual immediacy and conceptual distance.
