Excerpts from a review:

"OSCAR BECK doesn't need the unpredictable variable of canvas, brush, and paint to express himself. He does very well with the humble graphite pencil. His remarkably rendered realistic drawings are meticulously worked creating nuance and subtlety.

BECK'S handling of these extremely detailed figures is structured to control the intricate play of surface and texture with great understanding. All of Beck's drawings pull the viewer in because of their substance and complexity."

"The needle sharp point of a pencil applied to the texture free surface of smooth paper enables me to achieve a high level of direct intimacy with the depicted patterns and the observed details of the visual world."
