Berzerker Remix by Dean Valadez

Dean Valadez uses imagery that feels much like a deconstruction of space and matter. Using oil, acrylic, photography, paper collage, and printing, Valadez’s earlier work drew inspiration from George Orwell’s book 1984 and focused on the ways in which technology shapes our experience.
