Why We Like It: The works in this varied exhibition are at turns playful and fraught, hurriedly scrawled and delicately inked—and each, interestingly, made as a gift for someone.We hope to discover a similar precision of emotional pitch, across a spectrum of distinct moods inspired by the mixing of colour or the words of a poem, that will bring the imagined emotional life of the model to the fore in our drawings. Lack of intimacy affects loneliness, depression, social isolation, and a compromised self-esteem therefore intimacy is a fundamental human desire to understand human existence. I hope that Intimate Distance Drawings invite people to have an active dialogue about experiences, struggles, and challenges of their intimate relationships. Fourteen of the drawings are on vintage hotel stationery, further anchoring the drawings in place, if not time.

Curator Angelica Daneo notes the special immediacy of a work-on-paper where little separates the viewer from the direct hand of the artist. His grandfather collected much of the stationery; Templeton’s use of it adds a connective thread to both Southern California culture and his own life.

Doodle illustration of cute funky cat in various poses such as funky cat playing skateboard, party with radio, relax with a mug of coffee, stylish in scarf etc. As part of an exhibition this book focuses well upon it's subject matter and is both comprehensive and detailed study of a very interesting topic. The drawings offer off-the-cuff imaginings, such as Philip Guston’s dashed-off self-portrait in the act of drawing himself, or a charmingly meandering ink drawing by Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita of his favorite subject—a cat.

Though they project a cool indifference, they are celebrated by the artist, whose fondness for them both recognizes and commends their subversive style. This scholarly publication accompanies the first major exhibition held in Britain to focus on the more intimate types of Georgian and Regency portraiture. The artist will offer up an unfiltered burst of spontaneous expression, often leaving behind aesthetic preoccupations and ambitions—and, obviously, concerns about saleability.Since the answer to each puzzle is provided in the title of each piece, the works aim to reorient the viewer toward issues beyond mere appreciation of surface elements. Templeton examines the studied ennui of adolescents and young adults, capturing his subjects’ specific personalities while documenting the visual identity born of the distinctive skating and surfing culture that originated in Southern California.
