Excited to share that the art blog OH! Parasite has recently featured my work! Its always such an honor when your work is highlighted and discussed in such a responsive way.
About my work, the feature states:
Derek Overfield has a sensitivity to his line that makes for a stunning figurative drawing. The U.S. based artist and graphic designer creates exceptional sketches of nude, male figures. Most images are as simple as charcoal on paper, perhaps with a little paint tossed in, yet they evoke such emotion. One can truly sense the anxiety or melancholy of a figure through Overfield's fervent marks and cognizant lines.
Thanks so much to Grace of OH! Parasite for featuring my work!
