PHILADELPHIA – Jenny Jaskey is pleased to present The Drawing Narrative from May 8 through June 20, 2008.  The works share an affinity for acute draftsmanship, a limited range of materials (most are graphite on paper), and imaginative imagery with narrative potential.  In some, recurring characters become avenues to express metaphysical ideas; in others, isolated figures draw us into a psychologiccal space between events.  Brooding atmosphere, the use of pastiche, detached subjects and the like suggest that these narratives reside in a complicated and increasingly non-linear universe.
