About this work

This is a 1984 drawing called *Sorcery* by Ian Howard. It mixes chalk, gouache, and acrylic paint. The title hints at Howard’s deep interest in alchemy and hidden knowledge. The work was made right before Howard won first prize in a big drawing contest. He was teaching art at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen at the time. It shows a loose shape that might look like a sorcerer lying down. Check out this artist next: Howard, Ian.
