David Drebin
Discover the work of David Drebin, the Canadian photographer based in New York, at the OA Fine Art galleries in Paris. Each of his photographs opens like a film scene whose beginning you just missed: a silhouette, a city, a light almost too beautiful to be true. The rest of the story is yours to write.
The latest scenes,
first to see
New works announced by the artist, in the Limited Edition Artworks and The Dream Series collections.
Dreams of Central Park
Manhattan seen from above, with the great green breath of Central Park at its heart. Heightened with diamond dust, this cinematic opening shot sparkles and shifts with the light of the room. Two formats: 25 × 60 in, and 35 × 84 in as an artist's proof.

The story,
before the image
David Drebin composes the way one lights a film set. Passionate, sensual, often dreamlike, his photographs suspend a story at its most intense moment and leave the viewer to finish it.
The suspended scene
Framing, colour and gesture hint at a plot without ever resolving it: the image is the moment just before, or just after.
The dream
With The Dream Series, reality slips: saturated colour, impossible scale, horizons opening elsewhere.
The cities
New York, Paris, Monaco, Rio: the cities are characters. Their rooftops and nights set the stage for elegant solitudes.
The limited-edition print: Medium in an edition of 10, Large in an edition of 7. Some images also exist as panoramas.
The photograph heightened with diamond dust, always under Artglass. The image sparkles and changes with the light.
Words in light, in the artist's direct and often ironic voice. Edition of 9.
Essential for the Diamond Dust works: anti-reflective glass, 92% UV protection, durable and easy to clean. The glass that protects artworks in the world’s most prestigious museums. Photographs are offered unframed, or in a black frame quoted on request.
His monographs,
in the library
Eleven monographs published by teNeues, to browse at the gallery. They are not for sale: a monograph accompanies each acquired work, as a gift to the collector.
Between photography
and cinema
Born in Toronto in 1970, David Drebin lives and works in New York. Glamour, melancholy and humour blend in images he composes like film stills, in late-afternoon light. He also creates private commissions and large-scale installations.
Limited Edition Artworks
The heart of the work: photographs in several formats, Medium in an edition of 10 and Large in an edition of 7, plus artist's proofs. Some images also exist as panoramas.
The Dream Series
Landscapes and cities reimagined, where photography embraces its share of fiction. The same edition principles.
Diamond Dust
Images heightened with diamond dust, presented in an ivory frame with a mat, under Artglass. The same scene, changing with every hour of the day.
Why David Drebin belongs in a collection
A signature recognisable at first glance, short numbered editions, and images that tell a different story to everyone who looks at them.
