Putting a pencil to paper and drawing is probably the first experience that many students have with art making. Despite this, drawing was regarded as less important than other art forms. Drawing has now very firmly come out of the shadows and many contemporary artists are keen to include it as part of their practice and they often challenge our notions of what a drawing can be. This exhibition presents contemporary works by 46 artists, on both a large and intimate scale and showcases the use of pastel, charcoal, biro, ink and crayon on surfaces such as plastic, wood and many kinds of paper - rolled, flat or in artist books. The centrepiece of JADA 2010 is the drawing, Trees Waterfall Back by Peter Alwast who was the winner of the $15,000 major prize. Peter grew up on the Gold Coast and studied in Brisbane and New York. Peter describes it as a drawing using different signs that are brought together, or held momentarily in the mind, to form a perception of space.
