Feature Artist: Derek Gores

Today we look at an artist renowned for his use of recycled magazine and paper cutouts.

Derek has gained national attention for his collage portrait series, recycling magazines, labels, and found materials to create the works on canvas. The series showcases Gores' contrasting interests in the natural beauty of the figure, the angular design aesthetics of fashion (and machinery), and a fearless sense of play.
