Back in 2007, Naomie Kremer made a series of drawings that she chose to leave untitled. Monumental in scale, and rendered in lush layers of charcoal, her lyrical abstractions were far too complex to describe, let alone to name. Even today, the drawings surprise her, though some have hung in her home for years. "I can't figure out what led me to do what I did," she admits. From Kremer's perspective, that means she did something right.
After a long hiatus from drawing-during which she focused on painting and video and stage design-Kremer has returned to charcoal, as well as graphite and pen and ink. Drawings old and new are the subject of her 17th exhibition at Modernism Gallery, opening on March 9. The show encompasses her monumental untitled charcoals, seven from 2006-7 and one more that Kremer created expressly for this exhibition, three smaller-scale Feather River series drawings from 2006, and, among other works, a selection of elegantly minimal crow quill drawings of flora that she composed earlier this year in response to the landscape she encountered in the South Pacific.
