Isn't it a year. Pretty standard

New DRAN solo show 2016, by cyberkid on May 25, 2016 17:16:26 GMT 1, some infos from Jean de Loisy, President of the Palais de Tokyo, Paris:
Adda Gallery presents Tiens, a monographic exhibition of the artist dran in a historic building in the heart of Brussels, offering a stunning contrast, with fresh and sparkling artwork.
Well known for his satirical drawings, the candor of his performances, and his representative lines, dran is a singular and outside the norm artist.
The exhibition โTiens" will bring together the latest paintings and unpublished drawings by dran from 2015 to 2016.
Also release of the new book by dran โABCDโair" and a special edition of silkscreen prints hand finished by the artist.
"Virtuous, inspired, his work goes far beyond the so-called street art. He (dran) should be considered just as a poet who would be drawing or painting, as Cioran is to literature, a creator whose work built on a precarious refuge, from the disadvantage of being born and the temptation to to exist.โ
> The book ABCD'air will be available during the opening and the exhibition. A detailed list of sale points will be posted on our website.
> Signed books will be available during the opening.
> The hand finished silkscreen prints will be on sale in the exhibition and online after the opening. No reservation before the opening are accepted.

Miyazaki films are a blessing and can do nothing but help to see the world peacefully and respectfully.

New DRAN solo show 2016, by davievegas on May 25, 2016 19:40:56 GMT 1, I would def pay someone an extra $100 per print if they can snag me a print or two lol. Easy $200 for them if they are willing to help. I like 2 of the prints here with the exception of ABCD air. Not even sure If these pics are going to be prints but I like 2/3 of them if those are them.

New DRAN solo show 2016, by Peter Bengtsen on May 27, 2016 10:31:02 GMT 1, New street piece: 
Is that a printed paste-up?
It looks like there are a few waves from not being pasted evenly, and it also looks rasterized (is that the right term for the dot pattern seen in the printing)?
EDIT: I see now that the raster pattern (if that is the right term) is in the whole picture, so I guess the work may not be printed, but rather hand painted on paper and then pasted up?

That's what it looks like to me too. Painted paste-up.
The pattern is called a Moirรฉ Pattern... usually where an offset printed image has been scanned and reprinted, and the dot screens clash. (You did ask!  )
EDIT: Actually you see that kind of pattern a lot with digital printing. Is this image from a catalogue or new book?

New DRAN solo show 2016, by Peter Bengtsen on May 27, 2016 10:56:54 GMT 1, Happy Shopper: I had heard of Moirรฉ before, but not in this context, so thank you for explaining.
@niceguyg I agree that it is probably a hand painted paste-up. The pattern I referred to is found in the whole image (including the background wall), though, so I don't think it is a result of Dran's painting technique.
I am now just left with one question: what is the meaning of this image of a small girl giving the thumbs-up while holding up a sign with a crudely painted anus on it?

Anyway as you later noticed, the pixels can be seen throughout the photograph so is not the result of a printing process, but the outcome of the digital picture and or later filtration or adjustment.

New DRAN solo show 2016, by Agent Provocateur on May 27, 2016 11:19:09 GMT 1, @peterbengsten ahhhh it's not 'a crudely painted anus'! It's a childlike representation of the sun, maybe trying to encapsulate the yearning the child has for brightness in her life when she grows up, rather than the dark and disturbing world she sees the adults around her inhabiting now?
Haven't got a clue really, but will never be able to look at it again without thinking it's titled 'Brown Starfish'!

I prefer the phrase "rusty sheriff's badge"
Can't remember where I heard it.

His kind of drawings is a Frrnch speciality if I can say.
But respect, coz he has done murals.
I read that some ore going to pay 100 more abdmord fir somebody bringing him back prints or books ?
It's the price of a train to go to Brussels for me !
I can do for you the broker, ism them an in the middle ! Lol
