Self-Organized Systems - Neil le Roux

Neil le Roux’s ballpoint pen drawings can be described as a series of obsessive, repetitive curved lines, forming peaks and dales in what appears to be topographic maps of imaginative land masses, or concentric circles resembling the year rings of hewn trees. The process of drawing is cardinal in his work. It is apt to use Richard Serra’s maxim ‘Drawing is a verb’ when describing Le Roux’s drawings. His drawing is, however, much more than process; it is as much an artifact, projective, not predictive, of its own aesthetic outcome, as it is of an act.
