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.
Diagonal Landscape 02

Drawing
15cm x 22cm
Graphite and highlighter on paper
In his series of Diagonal Landscapes, Danby divides rectangles with simple diagonals and heavily works one side of the division. The resulting shape, particularly in the light of the title, immediately conjures a mountain, more so because of the arrangement catches the light in the fashion of a north and south face. The heavy and rough working of the selected side of the diagonal also points to weathering.
