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 colour 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.
