Curated by visual artist Roeland Tweelinckx, The Pencil Show explores the versatility and beauty of the pencil. This everyday object is one of the first and most readily available means of expression, yet it remains a crucial, indispensable tool for artists of all levels. From simple sketches to detailed technical drawings, the pencil remains a fundamental part of the creative process.
The Pencil Show is a tribute to the pencil, bridging the gap between childhood fantasy and serious artistic practice. Each work creates a unique interaction with the pencil, which is presented here not just as a drawing tool, but as an object in its own right. In this way, The Pencil Show invites viewers to reflect on the significance and powerful art-historical role of the pencil, and to (re)appreciate it as a symbol of creativity and expression.
