Becoming Confidently Insecure, with David Drebin

This week we delve into the journey and experiences of David Drebin. From discovering a passion for photography in the 90s to pursuing opportunities and challenges in New York City, David realized that the journey itself is more important than any destination.

We explore David's struggles with the business side of art and the challenges that creatives face in being their own biggest critics. David opens up about impostor syndrome, comparison, and the fear of vulnerability that many people experience. He shares his approach to balancing authenticity and creating personas in the social media world and how he navigates the fine line between creating art he loves and art that sells well.

We learn about David's alter ego, his belief in self-advocacy, and his journey of betting on himself. The episode also touches on overcoming insecurity in showing one's work and the importance of letting things flow naturally in the creative process. Hosted by Bob Gentle, this episode promises an insightful conversation with a talented artist who has successfully built and marketed his personal brand.

In 2005, Drebin had his first solo exhibition at Camera Work in Berlin. This was followed by his first illustrated book entitled “Love and Other Stories”.

Reflections on David's artwork:

“Drebin's photographs are epic, dramatic, and, above all, cinematic and have been collected around the world. In a unique and opulent way, Drebin stages femme fatales against the gigantic backdrops of cities such as Hong Kong, New York, and Paris. The panorama of the big cities, which, due to their format, are a tribute to cinema, serve as cinematic settings. With their impressive skyscrapers, they provide the viewer with a nearly infinite surface for the imagination. The distinctive tension and depth in his pictures arise from the free combination of such differing topics as humor and sex, melancholy and sex, and melancholy and humour.

At Art Miami in 2010, his now sold out “Central Park” sold for a record price of $78,000 through Contessa Gallery who has featured Drebin in major Art Fairs since 2008 alongside art world legends Andy Warhol, Chuck Close and Helmut Newton.
