Drake was chosen for our first local Call for Exhibitions via democratic votes. The first-round was judged by a 10-member panel of 2023 Penland Winter Resident Artists, and from that, the finalist was determined by a panel of the Relay Ridge Studio Artists.
“I’m inspired by the absurdity of modern American society; The irrational ideals we’re convinced to accept, the relentless marketing and propaganda, the tribalism, disgust, perverted romanticism and violence that has become characteristic of us. In my art I’m unconcerned with beauty or idealization. I’m interested in investigating our culture’s influence on our identities and the confusion, panic, and suffering that results. My subjects are people; sometimes we as individuals, sometimes us as a group. They are part mechanical construction, part hallucination; both comical and uncomfortable; suffering, confused, and trapped by their emptiness and proselytized ambitions.”
