BOCETOS (meaning sketches in Spanish) is a series of 50 drawings by Oliver Clegg that he created in Costa Rica during the first few months of quarantine earlier this year. What began for Clegg as a three month trip suddenly shifted into a seemingly endless stretch of life in the jungle. With limited space and resources, he launched into this series of drawings which reveal the multitude of oscillating thoughts, feelings, anxieties, and epiphanies catalyzed through our global crisis. Akin to Euclid's Porsche, his series of 150 oil paintings featuring Happy Meal toys presented with Rental Gallery in 2018, this body of work is intended to be considered as a whole, reflecting on how 50 disparate images can create the cultural, experiential, haunting whole.
