Jim Drain

Jim Drain's medium ranges from silkscreen, drawing, and collage, to video and sculpture. Saturated with color and pattern, and incorporating materials such as acrylic yarn, fun-house mirrors and bath towels printed with pin-up girls, his work packs a visual punch.  The results can be at once futuristic and tribal, playful and mystical, as with the machine-knitted sculptures that won him the Baloise Art Prize at the 2005 Basel Art Fair. 

Jim Drain has exhibited at P.S.1, New York; Pompidou Center, Paris; the 2004 Lyon Biennial; Deitch Projects, New York; Foskal Gallery Foundation, Warsaw; and at the Whitney Biennial, 2002, as part of the art collaborative Forcefield.  He currently lives and works in Miami, Florida.
