Andy Shaw and Guido Anton exhibit their latest collaboration of drawings opening on Wednesday the 2nd of September at Pixel Ink Gallery.

'Line' - Drawings by Guido and Andy is their first exhibition using traditional materials.

“After some years creating digital artwork on the computer, we've returned to our creative roots picking up our pencils to put line to paper.”

The exhibition will feature new drawings on paper from observation and the imagination.

Both artists share a love for art and the natural world. “Inspired by life and nature, we spend our days developing our craft of image making.”

Guido Anton has a background in animation, design and illustration. He is currently devoting all his energy to his personal artwork.

“My visual style is constantly developing as an expression of my life’s narrative - the people, situations, moments and dreams which unfold as my reality,” says Anton.

“I love illustration as both a means of communication and as a playground for the viewer’s imagination,” he adds.

Andy Shaw has worked for the past six years in Wellington as a freelance designer.

He has worked on various projects including, storyboarding for film and television, animation, architectural rendering, graphic design and digital illustration.

Shaw’s latest works featured in the exhibition represent an exploration of two ideas:
- "Long exposure" drawings that capture the people in his life;
- Imaginative illustrations about creation and destruction.

Pixel Ink Gallery director, Rosalind Clark said the characters and scenes depicted in Andy and Guido’s drawings will appeal to all ages.

“[The drawings] will mesmerise you, capture your imagination and transport you to a scene you think you may recall; only to discover something completely unique,” says Clark.

The techniques employed for the exhibition range from highly rendered imaginative forms to more gestural playful line works with high energy.
