Over seven years, artist and musician Llyn Foulkes creates, destroys and recreates a pair of large-scale, three-dimensional paintings (one that costs him his marriage), while trying to keep afloat in the fickle art market.
This film reconstructs how Foulkes was kicked out of the influential Ferus Gallery, an exclusion that set the tone for the next fifty years of his uncompromising, up-and-down career, and ends as he is at last rediscovered by the international art world at age 77.
With music written and performed by Foulkes on a massive, fanciful, self-invented musical instrument he calls "The Machine," LLYN FOULKES ONE MAN BAND is an intimate portrait of an artist battling his own demons as well as the perceived demons of the art world.
Director, producer, and friend of Llyn, Tamar Halpern visits for a Q&A and to introduce her film. Join us and learn more about the fascinating man dubbed "part Clint Eastwood, part political anarchist!" (IMDB)
