Scribbles, doodles and geometry make up an important part of the work of Jonathan Lasker who has compared his work to a ‘cat’s cradle of black lines, a little like knitting that’s come unstitched’. Lasker weaves his lines and doodles into shape and form in small studies for larger works, working with oils, coloured pencils, India ink, graphite, crayon and marker. Looking at Lasker’s work long enough, it becomes a joyful and fascinating mix of roughed-in newspaper or magazine layouts overlaid with graffiti.
