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.
