Derek Gores (Artist)-"Torn" @ Baisden Gallery
Recently, I went to an art opening at the Baisden Gallery here in Tampa, FL to view the work of Derek Gores. Some of you (my beloved readers) know of my ongoing interest in collage and when I heard about the Gores show at the Baisden Gallery entitled, Torn, I just had to go. The collage work on display was well worth it. I simply loved the show.
Gores takes simple pieces of torn papers ripped from magazines and creates a dynamic and intriguing world. The fact that the papers are torn and not carefully cut up pieces gives the work an energized quality that I am drawn to.
According to Gores, some of the little bits he uses are deliberate, but in most pieces he is trusting randomness to help build an end result that is more interesting than he could have planned. One friend calls it a 'Zen Narrative'.
