About:
Wolfgang Gallery would like to welcome you to a live viewing of Alic Brock's debut Atlanta exhibition. Join us for refreshments and a release of merchandise exclusive to Atlanta Art Week. We will also be releasing a series of previously unseen works on paper to accompany the event. The artist will be present.
Alic Brock (b. Dayton, OH) is a self-taught artist based in Atlanta, GA. Working with ultra-precision in his airbrush technique, Brock “chops and screws” his subject matter, taking iconic images that he finds online and manipulating them first with computer software and then in real-life, skewing his stencils to create an enchanting uneasiness in his paintings. Alic favors pop-culture icons like basketball players and musicians, but he doesn’t shy away from art-historic subjects, like a Man Ray photograph, or more obscure athletes, like runners and wrestlers, whose energetic movement Brock exalts and amplifies. Working with a hyper-saturated color palette, Brock’s paintings, with their repetition and inversion, serve as a meditation on digital communication and visual transmission.
