Draper’s conception of space is never far from motion and structures that shape it. “With Respect To The Killer In My Heart” features a mechanized sculpture, building structures, and evidentiary photographs integrated in the crafting of his Brutalist narrative. “Dominant Landscape A and B” are large landscapes, hand printed on fabric up to twenty-two feet long which run the length of the gallery and show the passing of time through textures of urban decay, motion, and sudden stops. “Delta,” a handcrafted superbike, is a mechanical expression of the American id in aluminum. “A and B,” a set of sculptural figures with internally visible video and a soundtrack by Stelth Ulvang of The Lumineers, is a vision of dissolving in concert. “Scans of a Bomb Site” is a series of manipulated photographic works that catch pieces of the human body, toys, animals and, seemingly, the tragic scattered objects of a bombing site. The objects and images create a sense of perpetual transformation at speed. “I am focused on the breakdown of Modernism as a language. Brutalism has emerged as the style of the past that fits best now.” says Draper. “These pieces are from a distressingly near future dominated by force.” Visit: https://.kevindraper.org.
