Works on Paper

Tanya Leighton, Berlin is pleased to present Works on Paper, a duo exhibition featuring the recent and revisited drawings of Brian DeGraw and Maia Naveriani. This presentation shows the unique approaches each artist takes to drawing, highlighting their perspectives on portraiture, narrative, and the medium of paper itself. ‘Works on Paper’ invites viewers to explore the personal and collective threads that connect these two artists, while celebrating the freedom and complexities inherent in drawing as a medium.
