James Kalm circles back to central Williamsburgs Pierogi to bring viewers a season beginning report on the recent drawings of John J. OConnor.  Using the humble materials of pencil on paper, OConnor expands both the scale and content of drawing and achieves some of todays most captivating abstraction.  Combining brilliant color, obsessive patterning, bizarre correlations of data and a whimsical compositional sense, these drawings are sterling examples of what Ive termed Meta -Drawing a recent development in graphic practice that is extending the boundaries of what drawing can be. Featuring an in-depth interview with artist John J. OConnor.
