Joshua Drayzen
Overview
Joshua Drayzen’s highly detailed works on paper explore the passage of time, ceremony, and transformation, all themes that stem from a compulsive impulse to draw. Drawing every day is a personal ritual for the artist, allowing him to conjure images that echo his internal world. Each day’s work builds upon the last, creating a process where the repetitive act of drawing morphs into a form of introspection, giving form to an ever-evolving self as motions transform into a space for personal discovery.
Drayzen graduated with a BFA in Fine Art from the School of Visual Arts in New York City and has recently completed a residency at the Vermont Studio Center. His work has been included in several two-person and group exhibitions, including recent exhibitions at The Middle Room Gallery in Los Angeles (2024), the NYC Crit Club in New York City (2024), Ortega y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn (2023), and My Pet Ram in New York City (2021). The artist was a member of Tim Rollins and K.O.S. (Kids of Survival), a collective that collaboratively created and exhibited work with several notable galleries, including Lehmann Maupin Gallery and Galerie Eva Presenhuber. The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
