Brian Drake United States Painting

Arguably one of the most beautiful pieces of paper currency ever created, Los Angeles
artist, Brian Drake uses the Bolivar as a backdrop for multiple interpretations on
currency manipulation and the effects of globalization and indoctrination. Overpainted
on actual paper currency, this piece creates a striking mix of soft, rich colors and muted
undertones of social disarray.
 
The scale and aspect ratio of paper currency and lIke paper currency, this piece reads in any position. This allows for flexible display possibilities, in both horizontal and vertical format. Painted on actual current Bolivars, with oil, wax, marker and archival paper on panel.
