Mind to Hand: a drawing show.

Incubator is thrilled to announce Mind to Hand, an exhibition bringing together drawings by 41 artists who have presented solo shows at the gallery over the past three years. This exhibition not only marks the culmination of Incubator’s signature series of adrenalised back-to-back solo exhibitions but also celebrates the diverse practices of each artist in a distilled, intimate format.

In Mind to Hand, each artist presents a single work that reveals a direct connection between thought and mark, interpreted through the unique lens of their individual practice. Drawing has been approached expansively: while some artists have chosen traditional pencil on paper, others have expanded the medium through collage, sculpture, or mixed media, allowing each work to reflect the artist’s distinct creative language. These works capture a sense of immediacy, presenting an encounter with the artist’s ideas in their rawest form. The directness and clarity of drawing or sketching, along with its typically intimate scale, create a closeness between artist and viewer—where simplicity of line or gesture expresses something essential and unfiltered.

This exhibition, while honouring the array of voices that have shaped Incubator over the past three years, also marks a turning point for the gallery as it moves toward a new rhythm of programming. The show distils a broad spectrum of practices into drawing, offering a rare glimpse of the proximity between mind and hand, as though witnessing the artist’s ideas unfold in real-time.

Mind to Hand offers an opportunity to engage deeply with each artist’s visual language, celebrating drawing as a medium that is at once exploratory and deeply revealing. This is a tribute to the artistic journeys that have flourished at Incubator and an invitation to reflect on the intimate, immediate nature of drawing—a form that sits at the heart of artistic expression.
