THE DISCOVERED DRAWINGS

While moving house in 1998, a large number of works on paper were moved from Ron Bloore's small home studio to his painting studio downtown. Among these drawings, mostly sketches and explorations, was an exquisite group of fully realized works from 1980 on Arches paper done with gouache, oil and ink all together.

These beautifully delicate works had never been shown to anyone outside that small sunny room, and were eventually forgotten by Bloore himself. The Moore Gallery was pleased to give these works their public debut in November 1999. (Photos by John Yates)
