Chaos Starts With a "C" Drawing
Pakistan
Drawing, Charcoal on Paper
Size: 159 W x 177 H x 0.1 D in
About The Artwork
The drawing is completed on hand toned paper with conte pastel and willow charcoal. Charcoal allowed me to strike a powerful and exigent imagery on paper. With it, I was able to evoke an intense ‘gasp’ from ‘my bystanders’ - all witnessing a morsel, an ‘exhibit’ of the tragic fall. Due to charcoal’s temperamental nature, I constantly had to revisit every single mark, be it shadow or highlight. To achieve such execution meant that I would slave over these meticulous details over 75 times each. A dissection of my drawing practice would show how I'm constantly trying to control order from a medium that is ever so chaotic. It's messy, leaves a trace, oftentimes permanent and sometimes completely out of control. Then again when I met chaos I let the reins of order loose, toying with chance in hopes to find new ways of keeping the viewer at an edge, hanging, predicting the outcome. And as for the title, ‘Chaos starts with a C ’, that’s between me and… her!

Pakistan
Kishwar Kiani is a visual artist, sculptor and an academic from Pakistan, currently based in Rawalpindi. Questioning how order and chaos coexist through scaffoldings underpins her visual arts practice. She identifies her ‘true-self’ in order and chaos, through scaffolds and mazes. Her works vary from charcoal to metal, exploring ways to break away from the constraints of her learning. She identifies her surroundings as a gigantic scaffolding and in perpetual creative movement: building, renovating, elevating but also obliterating. With her illustrated drawings of people falling out of a crumbling maze and sculptures on the verge of complete disintegration, she toys with chance in hope to find new ways of keeping the viewer at an edge, hanging, predicting the outcome. As every work takes its form from the previous one, the order that once stood separate becomes systemised within chaos as a linear narrative in her works. Nowadays, she is busy creating the hyphen between destruction and creation.
