Jeffery Dread And Oprah Winfrey

Pop Artist, Jeffery Dread, known for his iconic images of the world's most intriguing people explored the power of fortune won and lost in his latest exhibit, "Life is a Card Game." Using images wired to the psyche of almost every American, such as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and the Recent Presidential Candidates, Jeffery Dread places our collective fate on a face card- our hungers, wants and desires in living color. We realize that even if we didn't know we were playing, we are all in the game.A contemporary of Andy Warhol and Michel Basquiat, and a New Yorker for over twenty years, Jeffery Dread reinvents pop-art style by infusing his work with the vibrant colors, sights and sounds of his native Haiti, and the energetic power of carnival. "Life is a Card Game" reminds us that truly there are no winners or losers, just a tempting and magnificent game to play that we call . . . life.Jeffery Dread, a world traveler, considers life to be a "mobile canvas." His life and art have led him from the glamour of Hollywood to the rhythm of beach life in St. Barth and St. Tropez. On his travels, Jeffery has met and photographed some of the world's most recognized, modern icons such as Jamie Foxx, Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey, and Sean P. Diddy Combs, just to name a few. Jeffery Dread transforms these images into works of visual art that are highly prized in the art world. Jeffery has been commissioned by several high profile clients such as the White House to paint a portrait of our current President, George W. Bush, by the Kennedy Family for a portrait of Bobby Kennedy which was auctioned to raise money for the RFK Memorial Fund, and additionally by superstar Tom Cruise's Detoxification Project.On September 18, 2008, Jeffery Dread will hold an exhibition of his latest work at The Trigg Ison Fine Art Gallery on Robertson Blvd in Los Angeles.
