Hell Gallery launches into 2010 with a drawing show that throws a wide net over the Mark Makers of the Universe. Hell's Bottom Drawer presents a selection of artists that mixes generations and conventions. From well known artworld figures to those completely independent from the artworld. Throw in a seventy-year age spread and drawing is shown as an equaliser; a unifying human compulsion in all its forms: functional, scrappy, immediate, meticulous, precious or throwaway.

Hell will also be welcoming their intern, Benjamin Teuben, from Gippsland Centre for Art & Design. Ben will be exhibiting his drawings in Hell Toupee in conjunction with Hell’s Bottom Drawer.
