Kim Beck: Emerging Artist of the Year October 18, 2006

Large-scale charcoal drawings of malls, office buildings, and highway signage; digital prints of street lamps and new building construction; a large digital print on an industrial rug of an electrical transformer and a FedEx airplane; an installation including drawings, digital animation, and three-dimensional corrugated cardboard constructions based on self-storage facilities; commercial vinyl designed and cut into large weeds and wall paints that crept up walls and windows of gallery spaces - these are examples of artwork Kim Beck has been making over the last several years which engage architecture and the urban landscape.
