BLAISE DRUMMOND – A HISTORY OF HOPE
2018-12-17For the painter Blaise Drummond everything starts with photographs. In the case of his new set of paintings “A History of Hope,” that means the photographic archives of Black Mountain College. Drummond is in the habit of seeking out the subjects of his paintings in the history of modernism, icons of which he then transfers into a new setting of harmonious and peaceful natural scenery. Black Mountain College was founded in 1933 as a place for experimentation, not only artistic and pedagogical but also social and political. In many respects the heir of the Bauhaus, it was set up in the remote mountains and forests of North Carolina. Making it an ideal subject for Drummond’s paintings.
