Drawn Apart
Drawn Apart presents the work of eight artists: Kate Davis, Lucy Day, Leo Fitzmaurice, Kate Hawkins, Ben Long, Ed Pien, Terry Smith and Chloe Steele, who use drawing as an integral but not exclusive element of their practice. Held over two locations in East and West London during 2007 the project provides a platform to consider the relationships between drawings by old masters and that of contemporary artists. The contemporary artists have all exhibited widely, some having graduated in the last couple of years whilst others have long held reputations as being exemplars of their practice.

Drawn Apart West,
the second part of the project , is hosted by Day
& Faber, an old master drawings gallery based in
New Bond Street in London’s West End. For the
past thirty-six years the gallery has exhibited and
sold some of the best and most rare examples of work
by 15th to 19th Century Italian, Dutch and French
masters. This exhibition offers the opportunity to
see a selected group of contemporary works alongside
and sometimes responding to old masters drawings
currently in the Day & Faber collection.
