In 2000, Bryan painted tens of self-portraits whilst being on mind-altering drugs, and so, “Under The Influence” was born. Within weeks, he became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage. Saunders even became a frequent guest at the hospital. Nevertheless, he continued drawing. The artist sought “experiences that might profoundly affect his perception of self” and when you see just how different each of the drawings from “Under The Influence” is, you can’t help but think he succeeded. Saunders said the brain damage resulted in “psychomotor retardation and confusion,” but at least it was repairable. He’s still conducting this experiment, but over greater lapses of time
Hah if every artist had to put what drug they are on in any painting I think the world would be perplexed by an artist named ‘coffee’ making so much art.
