Neo-Native Drawings and Other Works features three decades of drawings extending from 1980 to 2009. Yuxweluptun refers to his drawings as 'preliminary studies' serving as 'background work' and the 'measuring-stick' for developing the forms and ideas that have come to identify his style and reveal his pictorial inventiveness. These works on paper are often visual notes for his paintings. In addition, his most recent tree studies (2004 - 2009), as well as ovoid portraits (2002 - 2005), figurative works (1985 to 2009), etchings (1993 - 2009), watercolours (1980 - 1993), and a number of sketchbooks make up the first exhibition to focus on Yuxweluptun's works on paper.
