DOCUMENTARY  

Drawing Out The Demons
David Vaisbord
Canada | 2004 | 48mins | Beta | Colour

Wednesday 12th | 2.30pm | Triskel Arts Centre

Art. Drugs. Madness. Gifted artist, tormented soul, egomaniacal bad-boy hyped up on crystal-meth. This is the snapshot, circa summer 2001, as this raw, uncen-sored documentary tracks the dramatic career of Canadian-born painter Attila Richard Lukacs. A bold visionary whose life-size homoerotic renderings of neo-Nazi skinheads fetch tens of thousands of dollars, Lukacs fails in his attempt to crack New York City, the world's toughest art scene. He spirals into depres-sion and drug addiction, alienates friends and art associates, and pushes away his saintly parents. But the wired West Coast artist manages to make it to the other side, retreating from his disastrous NYC exploits to find detox, redemption, and creative renaissance in Maui.
