Provocation (#artifpodcast): Find a piece of abstract art that you don’t understand and use this simple checklist to interpret it. Describe, Analyze, Interpret, and then Judge the artwork.

Biography: Born and raised in Reno, NV, Tom Drakulich is a process based, figurative abstractionist whose art practice navigates the play between the unique and the familiar. Having grown up exploring the Nevada landscape, he is influenced by the ways in which the physicality and form of the desert can be connected to the aesthetics of the body and his relationship with human nature. Tom is an interdisciplinary artist working in ceramics, mixed media painting and drawing, and site-specific sculpture. Tom received his A.A. in Art History from Truckee Meadows Community College, his B.A. in Criminal Justice from the University of Nevada, Reno, and his M.F.A. from the University of Nevada, Reno. In 2019, he was selected as the City of Reno’s inaugural City Artist.
