DAVID DREBIN

David Drebin's celebrated series, including Dreamscapes, Beautiful Disasters and The Morning After, have made him a favourite of young and established art patrons alike. Now, the New York-based artist takes on the next chapter in his narrative-led art with his works in neon which are featured in this luxurious volume.

Although alluring, the idea of a sensual wonderland seems to be permanently beyond our grasp. Yet so compelling is the notion, we would do almost anything to attain such bliss. It is the tension and instinctive drama of this age-old quest that David Drebin chronicles in his latest work-aptly titled, Chasing Paradise. These skilfully arranged scenarios convey the thrill of deeply illicit adventures. We find ourselves intrigued, yet also slightly concerned by the risks. Set against distinctive backdrops, Drebin's models seem to occupy a supernatural state of being. Powerful and all-knowing, each one has the mystery of a mythical figure-upon whose loveliness we mortals can only hope to gaze. Drebin seduces us with every twist and turn of his darkly sensual narratives

Once again, master photographer and storyteller David Drebin transports us into his gorgeous and captivating dreamscapes. For this, his fourth volume of work named Dreamscapes, we are transported to the most magical places on earth. We cruise the beaches of the Amalfi Coast; we smell and taste downtown San Francisco; we gawk at the cityscape of Manhattan. And we revel in the boulevards of Paris. There is no bucket-list destination that David Drebin has not captured with his unerring sense of timing and atmosphere. Reflections of light, dramatic color, and evocative staging invite readers to reflect, relax, and lose themselves in a fascinating and experiential daydream. As detached from reality as youll let them be, these images will stay with you long after the final page has been turned.
