Produktbeschreibung
Ian Bloom wrote Savage Recreation at age 24 in summer residence at the Bowery Hotel, New York-financed by a phantom movie director. A surreal odyssey through appearances, realities, excess, and deception. Somewhere in between, Bloom was cast in the Warners Brothers film The Nice Guys, to smoke cigarettes opposite Ryan Gosling-who supposedly grew concerned Bloom might steal the scene. Ever the gentleman, Bloom graciously napped, letting the stuntman take the moment, courtesy of directorial permissions. His second novel, Savage Recreation, evokes the brutality of Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground, laced with William Burroughs' Naked Lunch, and slivers of Ernest Hemingway's For Whom The Bell Tolls. A hallucinatory plunge into corporate dystopia, pharmaceutical mind-control, and the mechanization of desire, Bloom wrote this while reading Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow-but only up to the casino.
Autorenporträt
Ian Bloom is an American artist.Working in concert with collectors, Bloom markets abstract and realistic paintings, alongside photographs, drawings, films, music, fashion, and literature. Born on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Bloom is the only child of an interracial marriage. His mother, from Japan, worked within leading Japanese multinationals; his father, an American physician. They met in Mexico during graduate school, later moving to Washington, D.C., then New York, and finally Los Angeles. His Ashkenazi Jewish great-grandparents immigrated from Russia, Poland, and Germany; his grandparents and his father were born in New York. Raised off Mulholland Drive, Bloom vacationed between Japan and Europe. His travels through Italy, Switzerland, France, Monaco, Spain, England, Austria, and Vatican City shaped his global perspective and artistry. He studied art history and film at Columbia University at 16, followed by political theory and literature at UC Berkeley. By 23, he had completed dual degrees in accounting and marketing, and earned a master's in accounting from NYU Stern. Bloom continues to expand his portfolio with original vision and tactical execution - crafting a singular body of work across disciplines, rooted in sovereignty, symbolism, and aesthetic mastery.
