Igor Kovalyov works with an economy of mark that is extremely difficult to achieve. In Grandmother, an elderly figure is rendered in the sparest possible terms. And yet the presence is complete. You know this person. You understand the weight of her years without being told.

The work reveals itself slowly. The longer you look, the more you see. Not because there is more hidden, but because your eye learns to trust what is there. This is the mark of genuine draughtsmanship — confidence so absolute it can afford to leave things out.

A work that belongs in the company of the great figurative traditions. Quiet, humane, and entirely impossible to forget once seen.
