Whitney’s graphite works distill the concerns that animate his paintings into a more intimate, reduced register. In this black-and-white drawing, the artist abandons color while retaining his characteristic emphasis on structure, rhythm, and interval. The surface is organized through a loose but deliberate grid, where hand-drawn lines resist mechanical precision, asserting the presence of the body and the temporality of mark-making. The absence of color foregrounds Whitney’s ongoing engagement with rhythm as a visual principle. As he notes, “It’s all about how things relate—how one thing sits next to another.” In graphite, these relationships become more austere, even stark, yet no less dynamic.
