Collection: Jack McConville

Shop our collection of Jack McConville drawings in ink and acrylic. Like his paintings, he begins with a set of instinctive marks from which the artist then begins to intuitively pull a set of figurative elements – a head, a hat, a bird or cloud. Their surfaces are filled with attractive echoes and correspondences between McConville’s lines, lending them a sense of flux. Two figures often dominate his flowing compositions – exchanging gazes or gestures. The drawings’ unfinished quality defines their sensibility and quality as imaginative spaces – images are completed in the viewer’s mind. They point to the way the eye organises the world, seeks out order and creates meaning from the material before it.
