“Golden Blizzard is an art collective based in Atlanta, Georgia. Composed of seven artists, they esteem drawing, painting and installation as their primary means of expression. The members of Golden Blizzard work by integrating their unique artistic styles into a single expressive voice. Their subject matter investigates the aesthetics of beauty and destruction. A cornucopia of apocalyptic, pop culture and organic imagery, the work engages all artists in the collective at once. Drawings are continually edited by different hands, altered and augmented, so that the act of working in the collective is at once an obliteration of ego and a declaration of self. The tension of this work-method plays out in the forum of the drawings, the space of the page becoming a controlled environment for the lively dialogue of ideas.

The seven members of Golden Blizzard are Ellen Black, Errol Crane, Jennifer Kornder, Alex Kvares, Ann-Marie Manker, Jordan Reese and Daniel Upton. Individually concerned with a wide range of concepts and media and working autonomously as artists outside of the group, the members of Golden Blizzard formed as a collective in order to engage with other artists and to deliver a vision of integrated artistic exploration.”
