Brian Drake United States Painting

Painted on $50,000 worth of obsolete Vietnamese Dong, Brian Drake reflects on the
value of labor and currency in Southeast Asia. Today the Vietnamese Dong is usually in
top three of most worthless bank notes in the world compared to the the Pound or
Dollar. Vivid colors and geometry intersect with texture, to challenge current western
narratives and ideoalgy. Oil, wax, archival paper and obsolete currecy on panel.
