Derek Albeck “Mysterious Strangers” At POVevolving
From the press release:
POVevolving is extremely happy to announce a new exhibition of works by Los Angeles based artist Derek Albeck.
Derek Albeck’s new body of work is comprised of an increasingly complex lexicon of images, all of which are tied together by his obsessive attention to photorealistic detail. Utilizing a host of materials and images such as mirrors, powdered graphite, charcoal, and spray paint, he creates finely rendered graphite portraits and intentionally crude masks in an attempt to navigate the elaborate maze of his own personal history.
Many of Albeck’s recent works depict the disparate, frenzied moments that are usually the domain of the casual snapshot. What makes his use of these images noteworthy, however, is the carefully selected grouping of images that, as a whole, mimic a loose narrative rooted in his own personal history and memories.
Check out a preview of the work below.
