Alain Kirili has characterized his sculpture as an “act of violation, of mutilation,” and a similar aggressive, destructive energy is manifest in this drawing, with its marks literally torn into the sheet. Likewise, the monumentality characteristic of Kirili’s sculpture is suggested in the drawing’s broad, confident strokes and jagged edges.
