Awol Erizku: Cosmic Drill

Ben Brown Fine Arts presents Cosmic Drill, their third solo exhibition of Los Angeles-based artist Awol Erizku.

This exhibition will unveil an alluring new body of work that converges the mediums of painting, photography and sculpture while harnessing myriad influences, including street markings, hip-hop music, basketball and NASA telescopic data. Cosmic Drill features large-scale mixed media paintings and a seminal marble sculpture, as well as a conceptual mix tape produced specifically for the exhibition. The paintings are executed upon industrial aluminium surfaces directly emblazoned with photographic imagery that includes pictures of the cosmos captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and exposed parts of photographic film taken from the 35mm camera Erizku uses to document his daily studio activities
