Dennis Campay, “Bull”, 2018, Ink on Paper, Private Collection

“Drawing holds a central place in my work. I have spoken of its role and uses both as its own and as a key part of my paintings and sculptures but most surely in my creative process. I have explored and investigated through drawing a language of marks that communicates different narratives which creates feelings, memories of environments and elements of things that we encounter in everyday life. My images represent a period of time-a glimpse into the ongoing evolution of a body of work. This creates a kaleidoscope of stories allowing the work to grow with the viewer through the lens of the experience of life.” -Dennis Campay

Le Corbusier, “Bull”, Collage of Colored Paper and Newspaper, Gouache, Indian Ink and Charcoal on Paper, 1963

Le Corbusier was visionary writer, theorist, and architect, and a lesser-known painter. Born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, he adopted his moniker when he began to author architectural designs and paintings. He had a fascination with proportion, modularity, and geometry, often taking his cue from classical architecture theory. His designs, however, were modernist and industrial. He fondly called houses “machines for living in,” and said that the base principal for design is that “it must be beautiful.”

Le Corbusier was interested in solving what he called the problem of urban co-habitation, and produced a great number of designs for houses and apartment buildings. Le Corbusier worked at the atelier of Peter Behrens, the training grounds of other architectural masters like Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius.
