In the 200 plus drawings in this exhibition, (most of which will be shown in portfolios or projected on the wall), Warren uses a Chinese brush/pen and India ink on paper to bring to life themes borrowed from Spanish art from the Middle Ages through Goya and Picasso, melded with his own trademark iconography of skulls, dogs, bulls, musical instruments and more.
