Berlin-based artist Jorinde Voigt is best known for large-scale drawings often likened as either scientific diagrams or musical scores. The fine ink lines mimic the staves and note heads of a composer’s hand-written notations, but splashes of gold leaf disrupts the codified language, revealing a level of introspection at play. The recent drawings, being shown at David Nolan alongside older works, sees Voigt expanding into different spectrums and raw material: the soft pinks, reds and greens in the Jungian thought diagrams of “Observations in the Now” (2015) capture different emotional states, another uses body contact with paper as a starting point for pencil-drawn outlines filled in by colour pigments applied with cloth.
