Derek Overfield creates powerful and expressive figures that would feel at home in both the ancient and contemporary world. His style is rooted in the passions of antiquity, while being refreshing and raw in its modernity. His figures are relics from a more heroic time - fragmented and mysterious.
Energy and vitality are dear to him, so he crafts works of immediacy that display a balance of precise control and gestural abandon. Devoid of ornamentation, they are instead simple and spontaneous; minimal, yet compelling.
His work brings with it a bold and heroic presence, a one-of-a-kind and unique experience. Similarly, he feels honored to be a part of the age-old tradition of figurative art. Collectors of his work partake in that venerated tradition as well. They too celebrate the primal yet divine nature of mankind, the potent and strange force of humanity.
