Golden Blizzard is an art collective based in Atlanta, Georgia. Composed of eight artists (Ellen Black, Errol Crane, Jennifer Kornder, Alex Kvares, Ann-Marie Manker, Jordan Reece, Lydia Walls and Daniel Upton), 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. In the short life of the collective, they have created a large collection of drawings, which investigate the aesthetics of beauty and destruction. A cornucopia of apocalyptic, pop culture and organic imagery, the drawing series engages all artists in the collective at once. Work is edited by different hands, continually altered and augmented, so that the act of working in the collective is at once an obliteration of ego and a declaration of self.
