Charles Danby
Charles Danby studied at Norwich School of Art and Kingston University (BA) before graduating from the Slade (MFA) in 2002. He lives and works in London, as a curator, writer and artist, currently lectures in Fine Art at Loughborough University and is a co-founder of PROJECKT, a curatorial research partnership that broadcasts projects across the internet and presents work internationally. His work deals with lines and marking primarily in pencil, more often changing the medium on which this technique is employed than the technique itself. He sees the pencil as intimate, responsive to differences in weight getting close to the page, standing in contrast to the mass-produced and cold printed media upon which he places the marks.

Graphite and highlighter on paper
The diagonal line is a well-known visual trigger for anxiety and Danby combines that with a slicing and splitting of the page. The obsessive working of one side and over other, including some knife incisions can also be seen as antithesis to the simplicity and compelling beauty of the construction.
