Christopher Guest

Christopher Guest's "practice is concerned with obsessional mark making".
I recently went down to the Cornerhouse, Manchester, to see Christopher's pen drawings and I was massively impressed. The process of making work like this fascinates me. Take a look at the clip above to see how he painstakingly creates beautiful 'doodles' that are so full of detail. The idea of sitting for 10 hours at a time and obsessively drawing in an attempt of covering every part of the surface is something I would struggle to come close to achieving, not without colouring in the paper with a thick black marker anyway!
The exhibition runs until 15 August 2010 @The Cornerhouse (cafe area). So jump on the bus and get yourself a brew, they're definitely worth a look.
