“Our thoughts are the loudest when our mind is the most quiet.“
David Drebin
David Drebin David Drebin’s installations reflect the artist’s stream of consciousness. They play the keyboard of emotions: some[mes humorous, then again bitter, sad or happy. The artist is able to emphasize feelings through the interplay of light, color, and a corresponding typography. This creates monumental leitmotifs from Drebin’s emotional cosmos, and his powerful visual language is unmistakably present in this artistic subject as well.
