ART: Suburban Warfare in Acrylic Hangs
Dateline: A Madman's Lair In Chelsea
His latest Show:

The Paintings of Peter Drake are a wonder to behold. His latest show is called cul-de-sac. It attempts to link scenes of suburban life with military terms. His work inspires something disturbing and delicious. Figures boldly confront us against intense skies and houses.
I read from the bio he went to Pratt and lives in NYC. I think his work is a bargain right now. His stuff has the feel of something you could live with a long time.
It is not quite anomie he wallows in. It feels more rich and tactile, admittedly not altogether celebratory. It feels good to be around his paintings. Like you are in skilled hands.
