Some Good Drawing at Artomatic

Rita Elsner, Beautiful Thing, part 2
This year there seems to be a fair amount of interesting drawing at Artomatic, much of which is woven into a narrative either explicit or suggested. I love Rita Elsner's graphite drawings of a dirigible floating ominously over a city and her other drawings involving birds, x-rays, parachuting figures (that's all in one piece). I don't claim to have found the key to the iconography, but it makes some wierd visual sense. Maybe Rita will tell me.

Carucci (?)
I also like Matthew Carucci's cityscapes with buildings in the process of either construction or demolition. And there's more, but I sometimes can't tell whose work it is because, as in past Artomatics, some folks don't leave anything identifying themselves. What's up, folks? Are you being coy? Are you hiding a secret life from your colleagues at Homeland Security?
