Dran - Londres, by rjf76 on Jun 7, 2018 21:08:40 GMT 1, I advise those who were on the verge of buying the "Escape" print but haven't pulled the trigger yet to pay the gallery a visit again as they're up for a nice surprise ! Can't say too much as I don't like to ruin surprises but well worth the trip IMO ;-) Too bad I already bought, do you think I can bring the box back?
Ha ha the new ones are โฌ2000 - โฌ800 more than you paid!

And a few other OG's still available including the rainbow bear, a nice cardboard piece, skeleton drawing, surfer in the tube.
You can see Dran in action creating his wall mural today.....pretty cool to see

Dran - Londres, by londonlite on Jun 8, 2018 14:33:56 GMT 1, A few anecdotes about the work:
* the ink pieces are Dan's daily drawings throughout the spring (yes, we probably all knew this already)
* the mouse pieces are called Gring Gring. It is named such with reference to the gruyรจre cheese he is holding
* the โEvasionโ print references the classic escape scene from The Shawshank Redemption but instead with our protagonist escaping the agitation of mental penury via a hole concealed behind a poster of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingresโ โThe Valpinรงon Batherโ, a painting known for the calm composition and the harmonious lines of its subject. (from Arrested Motion article)

They are unsure when the book signing will actually happen, they said look out for IG notification. But definitely (hopefully) some stage on the weekend.

Dran - Londres, by Cookiemonster on Jun 8, 2018 16:54:34 GMT 1, Went today, completely underwhelmed. I have quite a few Dran pieces going back over nearly 10 years, but this series of works are flat, uninspiring and in my opinion lifeless. Dran always had the ability to make me smile and have a chuckle, but this series of works lacked humour. The drawings, seen them in similar fashions over the decade, so these didn't feel new. The prices for the drawings are ridiculous, given that they are not even signed. I have to agree with Carl Cashman, when he was at Nosco he was bordering brilliant, then went to POW and the Marks and Stencils Show took him up another level, but since that debacle in Brewer Street, he has lost his edge, culminating in this show.
Average show 5/10 - I know that my opinion will differ from others, and thats ok, its just my opinion.

Of course everyoneโs opinion is different and thatโs whatโs exciting about the art world but I have to challenge โlacked humourโ!
How can you not smile at a bee carrying home pollen, a robot having an oil bath, a boy with a dandelion blown in his face or a scarecrow feeding crows!!
The conceptual subtitley and irony is what made me warm to this body of work. I have to say that personally though, itโs this sense of Dran that I love most!

Dran - Londres, by marigot on Jun 8, 2018 18:47:59 GMT 1, This show maybe is not the best of the artist, but it's good to see Dran back in the game and i'm happy to have been there. I went last week-end and feel very welcomed by Huguette and Abdel Aziz, they tooked time to speak and share with everybody who shown interest. I'm sure now that the artist is clearly at the maneuver and decides the way he wants to follow and they are there to create a rampart between him and the public, to allow him to create with serenity. Let's see what will happen in the future. And, no doubt for me....Dran is Doretdesang and vice versa.

With Dran being from Toulouse and the flag of Toulouse being a gold cross on a blood red background is that not a given? D'or et de sang - Of gold and blood
