James Drake

An internationally acclaimed artist whose work has been honored with inclusion in both the Venice Biennale and the Whitney Biennial, James Drake has explored political, social and universal themes through the media of sculpture, video, installation, photography and drawing. A prominent subject in Drake’s work is the relationship of people and animals – in particular, the animality that lurks in human behavior.

James Drake’s work is in the permanent collection of over thirty museums, including the El Paso Museum of Art. He has had over sixty one-person shows and has been invited to participate in more than one hundred group exhibitions.  Drake is the recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship and two National Endowments for the Arts grants.
