Doodling, drawing or sketching is elementary for artists. Lines and drawing is the essential elements for the artist to summarize their ideas, a starting point of the creative process. They become the estuary for the development of artistic concept through various media. Sketch or drawing often considered as an ‘unfinished’ works as it gives a foundation and way to more ‘advantage’ version of it. On the other hand, sketch or drawing is a liberal realm, a comfort zone, a sanctuary of creativity that exist within the creative process. Yet, it is a crucial element and data in documenting the artistic and aesthetic progress of an artist. Often time, this elementary foundation appears in the artist’s canvases. And they are S. Teddy D., Yustoni Volunteero and Farhan Siki who had done it in their works in this “Mereka dan Coretan” exhibition. They present the exploration of their preliminary sketches, doodles, drawings on canvas and display them to a wider audience.
