Llyn Foulkes One Man Band is a feature documentary that follows the Los Angeles-based painter and musician, Llyn Foulkes, from age 70 – 77 as he struggles to be acknowledged for his achievements. During the seven years chronicled in the film, Foulkes creates, destroys, and recreates a pair of large scale, three-dimensional paintings (one that costs him his marriage) all the while trying to keep a toehold on the art market. With commentary from Dennis Hopper and George Herms, it’s revealed how Foulkes has avoided “selling his soul”, setting the tone for the next fifty years of his uncompromising, up-and-down career and the international art world that is at last discovering him at the age of 77.

ART SEEN is in partnership with friezeFeaturing Absolut Vodka Cocktails.
