Is the skill of drawing still a fundamental element in the world of contemporary art? How can you create anything, after all, if you can’t form lines or images on a canvas, or any other medium? These days, the rise of new design software right to the classics like Photoshop and Illustrator have, arguably, called into question the importance of actual drawing skills.

In a direct response, the Much Ado About Drawing group exhibition, now showing at Core Design Gallery in Subang Jaya, champions the art of drawing and features an interesting line-up of artists with thoughtful and diverse works.
