Žilvinas Kempinas is a Lithuanian-born, New York-based artist best known for his innovative use of non-traditional materials and minimalist aesthetic. His "Fan Drawings" series exemplifies his exploration of movement, air, and balance through the medium of drawing. In these works, Kempinas uses fan to direct the flow of graphite strips, creating intricate, abstract drawings that are both dynamic and ephemeral. The fan-driven motion results in delicate, unpredictable lines that evoke notions of chance, energy, and the intersection of art and technology.

The "Fan Drawings" capture Kempinas' fascination with the unseen forces of nature, translating air currents into visible, physical marks. This interplay of controlled and random movement aligns with his broader interest in kinetic art and the use of everyday materials to create minimalist, yet conceptually rich works. The works are characterized by their lightness, fluidity, and a sense of impermanence, as the fans continuously alter the composition, making each viewing a unique experience.
