Overview

Graham Rendoth is an artist, designer and illustrator. His first book of drawings was As A Boy, published in 1984. Other books have been published commercially and as limited editions, and his work has appeared in many publications. Born in the Australian rural town of Tamworth, Graham grew up in the suburbs of Sydney. He has a BA Design from Sydney College of the Arts. He is founder of the creative consultancy, Reno Design.The 114 drawings in Face Book reveal past lives and new beginnings, light and dark thoughts, dreams too, and nightmares. Some of Graham Rendoth's intriguing faces are finely detailed, while others are made with just a few considered marks, but all focus on trapping a single idea or situation. Like real people, like real faces, most are a mystery to me. If done by someone else I would expect them to have come out of dreams - but they didn't, not really. They usually grow out of a dreamstate though, some time after I notice a person or a thing, or I've been emotionally detached in a place or in a time of repose, and then the drawing starts. ""Faces are the most interesting things we see; other people fascinate me, and the most interesting aspect of other people - the point where we go inside them - is the face. It tells all."" - DAVID HOCKNEY
