This chapter is the text written by curator Heather Anderson for Untitled. It is a minute long.
Kim Moodie is known for his highly detailed ink drawings. Mining and mixing historical traditions and cultural genres from illuminated manuscripts to comic books, graphic novels and children’s books, Moodie has developed a striking lexicon of imagery that densely populates the drawing space and offers infinite narrative possibilities.
Moodie created this fantastical work with twenty-five pages torn from a sketchbook and arranged in a grid. Each page is fully activated with the artist’s energetic, bold black lines depicting a host of beings and objects. We can observe that the drawings do not continue from one page to the next, yet the artist’s use of line, pattern and balance of negative and positive space creates the effect of a continuous, interconnected realm with manifold scenes of action.
