A master of layered erasure and revision, William Kentridge renders *9 Films* in graphite and colored pencil on paper, capturing the haunting residue of marks made and partially undone. The work reflects his signature approach of treating drawing as a cinematic process, where smudged traces and accumulating lines evoke the passage of time, memory, and transformation. Rich tonal contrasts and delicate bursts of color animate the surface, underscoring the tension between permanence and impermanence that defines his practice.
