About this work

David Leapman made a drawing called *Juncture* in 2005. It’s a work on paper held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Like many of his pieces, he used odd materials and special light tricks. The drawing’s surface is covered with tiny clear plastic bits called “crystalina.” They catch the light and sparkle when the right light hits them. The pigments even glow under certain conditions. Look up Leapman, David.

The story of this work

Overview

Juncture is a 2005 abstract drawing by David Leapman, executed in black and brown ink on a surface covered with crystalina—small transparent plastic fragments that reflect light. The work is part of Leapman’s practice of using unconventional materials, here incorporating fluorescent and phosphorescent pigments that respond under specific lighting conditions. Acquired in 2007, the drawing is included in the group exhibition and acquisition titled *40 Artists - 40 Drawings*.
