Gillian Wise (1936-2020)
I first saw Wise's work at the Sainsburys Centre in Norwich, the world class art gallery in the grounds of the University of East Anglia, where I studied from 1995 to 1998. I was amazed that these were drawings, and couldn't fathom how they could have been done by hand. I still can't. Magic, probably, or incredible skill.
Despite living only a few hundred metres from the gallery, I suppose I went in about a dozen times over a three year period. Now I'd be in there every single day, mainly because my appreciation of art has increased considerably, partly because I don't have nearly as much on these days.
