Corey Durbin's photographs are conceptual, where the gesture informs the composition, and considers the role of mass production/information, tradition and the act of creation on perspective realities. This often involves layers of reproduction, manipulation, and repurposing of an image.  

Object making, photography, drawing/painting, language and found images are collapsed into moments of broken narrative and symbolism that reconsider our relationships to that which we know, and deconstruct the intention of what is understood.

This considers human consciousness an over-evolution, and engages a natural or preconscious response of intuition, instinct, and empathy. Acknowledging a struggle for power and against chaos, we recontextualize classic tropes of spirituality, man v nature, v society and v self. 

Corey Durbin was born in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He received his BFA in Sculpture, Extended Media, and Painting/Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
