Serge Onnen is a serial drawer. He draws continually, with a constant fervor that makes everything he does drawing. He studies and collects drawings, he curates drawings, he decorates with drawings, he makes videos/movies with drawings, he orchestrates music with drawings. Everything he does is about "Drawings". His installation in the Dikeou Collection transforms the restroom into a room of his figures whose hands to mouth pattern quilts the walls of the room making it a variable pincushion of fleshy figures. Emerging from the landscape of drawn wallpaper, is a video of his drawings—Break in which the two hands keep clanking together various objects like beer mugs, until they break apart and fall to the ground. This drawing environment is just part of the whole Onnen drawing retinue which includes his book "0" a collection of drawings he compiled of both contemporary artists, and historical Masters, for zingmagazine 16, and his musical "exquisite corpse" drawing game (zingmagazine 22) in which he gives instructions to readers on how to make a musical composition, then asks them to record it and send it back to zing for compilation and publication.
