The Narrative.
Is This A Dance
An Original Striated Ink Drawing
The Rhythm of Human Connection.
Memories of people and interactions are often the most unstable of all. In "Is This A Dance," Charles Buckley investigates the area where human movement cannot be rationally explained, yet fits within the logic of the page. This figurative study captures a moment of physical closeness that feels both familiar and elusive. This original striated drawing operates on the belief that forgetting is a necessary component of remembering. From a distance, the eye bridges the gaps between the hand-drawn ink lines to create a narrative of two figures in motion. However, as the collector approaches the work, that clarity fractures into a rhythmic, vibrating grid of acrylic ink and negative space.
The Mechanics of Perception.
Based in Brooklyn and exhibiting with the Susan Eley Gallery, Buckley utilizes a meticulous application of horizontal ink lines to mimic the visual language of CRT television sets. This "analog digitalism" allows the image to feel like a broadcast from the past, mirroring the way our minds edit and crop specific moments. In "Is This A Dance," the undrawn space between the lines is the source of the work's emotional charge, requiring the viewer to fill in the missing details of the embrace. This 10x10 drawing is a rigorous mnemonic investigation: a permanent record of the gaps that define our personal history.
