Work from Common Nouns at Feuer/Mesler
“Common Nouns is a collection of paintings developed through attempts to momentarily experience and analyze articles culled from DePrez’s immediate environment. DePrez imposes humor, self-described awkwardness, and a variety of painterly strategies to build up a visual and material history within each painting. These impositions encourage the formation of irregularly shaped paintings that overlap and inform one another in a way that transcends their sources objectivity and propels them into a more allegorical space.”
