Nicholas Forker "Divide and Conquer"
Leo Kesting
This event has ended.
Leo Kesting Gallery welcomes artist Nicholas Forker for his first solo exhibition with the gallery. This short run exhibition "Divide and Conquer" features Forker's latest illustrative creations using rendering and collage as representation of our times, past and present. Just as our generation is a cultural pastiche taking identity from previous ones, Forker’s pieces borrow imagery and history from photographs and popular print matter from previous decades.
Using paint and pencil as well as razorblades and computers, Nicholas combines his freehand drawing style with images and shapes takenfrom explorers and subjects both past and present. This latest collection remenices of the pioneers of old and of the modern day, from covered wagons to spacecraft.
