Current Exhibition

Tim Biskup: Drifting Agency

Drifting Agency, an exhibition of graphite drawings by Southern California artist Tim Biskup, opens Thursday, May 21, at Haley Gallery with a reception, free and open to the public.

Focused mainly on abstract and figurative painting and drawing, Biskup’s practice extends into sculpture, printmaking, and music. Around 2009 he began experimenting with a graphite drawing technique he has come to refer to as “Graphite Memory.” Videos of this technique have garnered hundreds of millions of views on social media and culminated in a series of live drawing events, including a session at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles in February of 2025.
