Detail

Merging art and technology to craft abstract landscapes from urban and natural influences.

In this work Depeña fuses creative disciplines through an expressive process of combining technology and art into formal objects. Taking cues from a constant rumination of the nocturnal urban environment such as artificial light, large-scale advertising, obscure illumination, natural and unnatural phenomena, chaos and cosmology the new work further blurs perception and memory in to a redefined landscape of monolithic abstractions.

In earlier work there has been a surveillance-like documentation of obscure relationships between various urban and suburban subjects/objects and the between the natural and man made. In contrast, instead of pure documentation, the current direction of work is actually creating and manipulating these objects and environments.

Through the combination of synthetic and organic materials, artificial light and architectural detailing, the work recreates and re-appropriates the immediate environment into encapsulated moments. 

With this show, Depeña is presenting a more formal approach and committing to a logical “next step” in his process of creating immersive, emotional and pleasantly disorienting environments.
