Using John Berger's categorisations of drawing as observation, communication and exorcism as a framework, this exhibition tracks links between 20th century and contemporary artists.

 

Hung alongside work from the British Council collection, this exhibition includes work by Canterbury Christ Church University alumni and staff as well as significant drawings by artists such as Maggi Hambling, Michael Sandle, David Nash, Euan Uglow, Kenneth Armitage and Michael Craig-Martin.
