About

Alic Brock (b.1992) is an 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.
