ART DRAMAS

LA contemporary art presneter Brian Drake works the room from a live Zoom meeting.

A young woman once accused me of being very dramatic. She said I always had "art dramas." She was right. Above are several screens from a private presentation I just completed tonight. And tonight, I brought the drama and the theatrics.

What?
In co-operation with a new gallery group, I have been testing online Zoom meetings for would be patrons from my studio. Part presentation, part social commentary and part bullshit session, this inside look in my studio gives qualified buyers a real glimpse into the paintings and a more intimate conversation with me. The pandemic has changed a lot of dynamics for galleries and artists' abilities to connect with audience. I have a lot of technology in my studio and take advantage of this fact to provide private, small group presentations, or one-on-one meetings about my art and even possible commissions. Theatrics, drama, verbose language and a background playlist that would be the envy of Nick Hornby's Barry Judd, I bring the show. And actually get pretty serious about the work in the process.

How?
While I work details with this new group for representation, I can be booked through my contact page. I promise, it doesn't suck and you will walk away with about as much understanding of me and my work as possible. I promise to bring the theatrics and drama. As for the young woman I mentioned above ... that would be one of those old posts, I don't do anymore.
