Drawing a parallel with film

The impact of cinema and digital media on sketching and illustration is the theme of UCC’s Motion Capture exhibition, says Tina O’Sullivan

THE autumn exhibition at the Lewis Glucksman Gallery, University College Cork, explores the relationship between drawing and the moving image. The exhibition, Motion Capture, is curated by Matt Packer, curator of exhibitions and projects, and Ed Krcma, lecturer in the history of art, and editor of Enclave Review. The show was launched by Seán Rainbird, the new director of the National Gallery of Ireland.

Motion Capture looks at work from the mid-20th century onwards. There are 12 artists in the show, and each has a different creative process. Lithographic plates, by Henri Matisse, which he referred to as “the cinema of my sensibility”, are on show in partnership with the Musée Matisse in France.
