New DRAN solo show 2016, by sakyamuni on Jun 24, 2016 10:36:58 GMT 1, I saw the exhibition last week and to be honest I was far from impressed. A lot of crap among the paintings, and very few interesting works. I think he should go back to drawings on paper/cardboard, on small formats, I am not too convinced by Dran as a painter, especially on large canvas . Overall a disappointing exhibition... Hi, just wanted to say that i agree when you said that among the paintings some where of less interest than the others. But some true gems have been showed as well... Picasso has painted 1 885 canvas, 1 228 sculptures, 2 880 ceramics, 7 089 drawings, 342 tapestries, and more than 30 000 prints...how many of those 50000 are true gems? I wished i had the cash and i'm still worried not to be more rich to fully enjoy my passion for this incredible artist...he's became now quite expensive for my little wallet ! I totally disagree when you said he should go back to drawing or past works!!! PAST is PAST...dran could earn loads of money drawing like that...but he had simply no interest doing so...he's not afraid to change what may be "bankable" for him...he paint what he want to paint...NOT WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO PAINT ! His unique style evolute with his mood and what he really wanted to tell us about his vision of our society with his unique regard... I'm happy to see an artist evoluting and not doing, or painting allways the same stuff again and again(as a lot of the "major actors" on the scene are doing)...IMO he has the touch of the Genius because, however he's painting or drawing, you can allways recognize his inimitable style and unique touch. By the way here is a picture of the print that kick myself up at the show...(was so excited at the opening night that i even forget to take my own picture, so thanks to adda for showing it) So totally different from the other boys showed because it was a wink to a fellow urban artist ! I can't wait to have it framed. Blobs by dran

I can't wait to have it framed. Blobs by dran I get your point, and I am glad for Dran that he has such loyal follower. However, just to clarify, I did not say he should do the same thing all the time. My view is that he clearly lacks the skills and imagination to do more than what he did in the past. He tried with this show to be a painter and clearly he is not. Personally I don't see how these works are a new direction for him: most of these paintings are just the same thing he did earlier on small paper/cardboard. Painting them on large canvas does not turn them into amazing pieces of art. It just shows his limitations. He is free to do whatever he likes, I agree with that, but I think it should be reminded that there are some limitations, and showing very bad paintings at high prices does not make you a genius. Also putting Picasso and Dran in the same sentence should definitely be avoided... And to be clear, I liked Dran for years, enjoyed his books and still do. But I am not blind and what I saw in Brussels was a great disappointment. And I seriously doubt he can go on like this for a long time... |

dran paintings simply reflect how he feels at a certain time so, on my side i'm simply happy to see him back painting and i'm quite sure he'll surprise us again in the future. Hopefully he'll keep adding some colors in his life..and paintings  I'm sure he has felt the love surounding the new show.

I found it very interesting and i must say that i don't disagree with everything you say. About the example given with Picasso it was just to say that even great artists have produced works with less interest (and with Pablo there has been loads at some time). dran paintings simply reflect how he feels at a certain time so, on my side i'm simply happy to see him back painting and i'm quite sure he'll surprise us again in the future.

I just want to say I really appreciate your comments. And I actually agree with almost all of what you are saying. I am a massive Dran fan. But with that said, and I've said it before, I think his work has gone progressively downhill. I keep wanting to believe that he has it within him to turn it all around, but honestly I just don't know any longer. But I certainly hope he can. I keep rooting for him on the sidelines. |

Gorkie I think his works just growing up
As before a lot of his works were very child like and now the kid has grown up and has learnt how to express himself
Then soon he will be an adult and all his skills will be mastered and then
Dran will be a master and will create amazing masterpieces to solidify him in the art world.

New DRAN solo show 2016, by gorkie on Jun 25, 2016 19:42:27 GMT 1, Pure and simple - I judge the image. It's based on a combination of what both my mind and my eye sees. And of course what I think are dull and uninteresting images another person might think are great. That goes without saying. For me, overall - Tiens was a big show full of uninteresting images with a couple/few that were worth a damn. That's just me. Again - I love Dran. So my comments come from a place of love. I'm not trying to rag on Dran. I'm just giving my own honest opinion based on what he put out there for this show.

That's all fair
Art is subjective

I'm intregued

Those couple/few need to been seen in the flesh and you won't forget it forever ! Fucking good...But damn how is hard when you get the feelings that your favourite is simply getting out of your reach. I keep the faith some day i'll add a new awesome piece to my collection ! But i'll happily drown my sorrow with my print.
I can't wait to have it framed !

New DRAN solo show 2016, by Eric Pause on Jun 26, 2016 23:50:37 GMT 1, [] I think this one is in a different direction for Dran It's not in a cartoon style like all the others and is quite a serious / straight kinda style and subject It's not childlike it's not cartoon and it's not funny It's a departure what do other people think [ Maybe this is the direction he should go in I disagree. It's a cartoon of a wall that has presumably had graffiti all over it, but has been painted over with different shades of grey paint. The punchline is that the artwork has been buffed. In my opinion it seems to fit with Dran's style exactly. But to each their own.
