BFA RISD 1993
In his collage portraits, Derek Gores recycles magazines, labels,
data, and assorted found analog and digital materials to create the
works on canvas. The series showcases Gores' contrasting interests in
the living beauty of the figure, the angular and abstract design
aesthetics of fashion, and a fearless sense of play. His fine art
canvases are exhibited by galleries in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago,
Sydney, Cologne, Miami, Santa Fe and more. Gores' design clients include
Dwell Magazine, Lincoln Motor Co., ESPN, Lenny Kravitz, Lucasfilm,
Kings of Leon, U2, Adidas, Madonna, Harley Davidson, Standard
Collective, the National Football League, LiveNation, SEIU and more.
The Rhode Island School of Design grad lives and works in Melbourne,
Florida, exhibiting and curating with the bold upstarts there,
surrounded by the intellect and culture of the Space Coast. Derek was
honored to have his work selected for the Manifest Hope DC exhibit
coinciding with the Presidential Inauguration in 2009, and in 2010 he
was named "One of the 40 important artists of the New Contemporary
Movement", while in an exhibition in London.
