Peter Chey

Peter Chey draws "faceless comfort" under a single idea—that comfort should reach anyone, easily. Working with the most familiar of materials, ballpoint pen and marker, he leaves each figure's face empty so that viewers can project their own stories and complete the work through their own reading. Moved by those who told him his small drawings brought them great comfort, he developed his "Giant Drawing" technique, enlarging tiny ballpoint sketches over a hundredfold and redrawing them by hand in the same medium. The result feels like a picture made by a giant standing steadfastly beside you—an image that shifts with distance, offering comfort through both scale and perception.
