Greg Drasler
Metaphorical depictions of construction sites and workers have inspired Greg Drasler’s paintings since the early 1980s. Accumulations of tools and objects populated his paintings, addressing the construction of identity. Crowds of men in hats along with the baggage paintings contained humor, nostalgia, and memory in ongoing assemblies of selves. Drasler describes his painting process as […]

I’m extremely interested in people having a variety of experiences with my work as well as myself having variety of experiences with the work and I think that desire comes from multiple places and probably some that I’m not even aware of.

The experience of merging with those who are on the other side of the interface, embedding ourselves in others’ lives, is as vast a field of fodder as I could imagine.

Because I love the history of ‘Painting’ there is something deeply satisfying, slightly tragic and also funny about doing this.

I have connections and reactions to the stuff that populates our world that might be best reserved for other living things rather than the inanimate. So, not surprisingly, I have always been a sort of covert hoarder of things/materials that I feel are enchanted, that hold a power over me. Their particulars are frequently specific to by-gone eras, but not always.

When I was a young child, I would sometimes wake up at night with a flashing sensation of seeing the world from outside my body. These episodes were probably brief, but they felt timeless, like an encapsulated time when the moment is sharply here as a continuum of past and future. This urgent need to grasp simultaneous perspectives that are constantly shifting and converging, has germinated in my mind and I have been trying to embody these dichotomies in my artwork.

The flaws found in the photographs and films make me think of our own. I take the ideas found in photographic imperfections and relate them to our human condition. The figures in many of my drawings seem to be in deep thought as if trying to discern something. I think they’re aware of their shortcomings, and they’re trying to figure out how to correct them so that they can become the people they are meant to be.

As a child, I was fascinated with the slogan printed on the 7-UP bottle: “You like it, it likes you.” It was funny because it posited a subjectivity to an inanimate object and proclaimed a rapport, a relationship of sorts, with me, as child consumer. The pleasing symmetry of that sentiment seemed to ensconce us in a sweet (pun intended), endless loop.

When you move, your idea of home shifts and how you root yourself becomes essential. Immigration can infect one with a continuous sense of wandering. It can also gift one a sense for grounding elements that can include a physical location, but also it can be cultural elements, family, language, literature, spiritual beliefs. These are the roots in me; though I have moved I am more rootful, not less. And my paintings, they are carriers of that condition.
