Ron Zakrin. 808 - Still Life With Drum Machine Edition. Edition Size: 35. 20 x 15 Inches Archival Pigment Print on 330gsm Fine Art Paper. $50. These RUNs highlight Ron Zakrin's "Still Life With Drum Machine" at 323East Gallery. The exhibition highlighted Zakrin's career spanning obsession with Detroit electronic music and the effect it has had on his artwork over the years as both a producer and artist. "In a way, this piece was the seed that sprouted into the Still Life with Drum Machine show, which married my influences of electronic music and painting like never before. I was working with a firm to produce a documentary about the business side of the music industry, with a focus on Detroit Techno and it's various artists. I had a number of illustrations and paintings that came out of this project, but my work was not used in the film. I don't know what the status of the film is. Having these paintings of synthesizers and drum machines led us to the idea of doing a show on the theme Still Life with Drum Machine exhibit at 323East Gallery. I would guess I put 8 - 12 hours total into it, but it was off and on, not a straight session. " - Ron Zakrin.
