Word As Image
Posted by Meganvia Notcot These obsessive drawings of interiors by Swedish artist by Thomas Broomé meld type and image into a singular hypnotic vision.  
From the exhibition catalog:
ModernMantra is a series of 18 ”text drawings”, made in Indian ink on white paper. In a somewhat schematic fashion they portray sterile and depopulated interiors, often simply but properly furnished. One does not have to get very close to them to see that the drawings are really calligrammes, that the interiors are drawn with words that simultaneously describe what they depict.
