About the Item
Derek Buckner is represented by George Billis Gallery NYC and LA. Born in 1970, Derek Buckner lives in Brooklyn, NY, with his wife, novelist Joanna Hershon, their twin sons and daughter. The artist graduated from LaGuardia High School of Music and Art, as well as Vassar College, The Art Students League of New York and received a B.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
During his career, Buckner has discovered many different themes, but the one to which he has most often returned is the urban landscape. In these paintings, he allows the viewer a distinctive look into his everyday surroundings, often including factory rooftops, bridges and the rapidly changing Gowanus Canal.
In Derek Buckner’s most recent series of oil and watercolor paintings, the vibrant palate and shock of light lend his subject matter an elegant intensity. Buildings and factories appear not only as elements of industrial Brooklyn but also as blocks of pure color. “For me,” the artist states, “painting is not about inventing something new but instead it’s the act of seeing and considering my world from new perspectives. A painting, unlike a photograph, does not represent a moment in time, but is itself a collection of memories and decisions— an artifact of an experience.” Buckner’s goal is not to copy what he sees but to provoke his own visual curiosity and excitement in the viewer.

Derek Buckner
American painter Derek Buckner creates powerful cityscapes and suburban scenes that depict the rapid growth of metropolitan centers and the impermanence of the modern world. Rather than depict the grandeur of skylines and views from above, Buckner seems to prefer a perspective from the ground level in his realist works, showcasing the oft-overlooked nooks and crannies that comprise the hidden beauty of a city.
The son of Boston area realist painter Walker Buckner, Derek was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and attended Vassar College. Buckner later studied at the Art Students League of New York and ultimately earned his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Most of Buckner's urban depictions aren't meant to depict a particular city or region of the United States — they’re mere archetypes meant to evoke a sense of the true American landscape. And while he's explored many subjects throughout his career, Buckner has had a special relationship with one particular area of New York City — in a range of spectacular oil paintings and watercolors, the artist has focused on creating a visual record of the changes that have taken place on the Gowanus Canal and in its surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Carroll Gardens and Red Hook for 25 years.
Buckner has exhibited in New York City and Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as in Mexico and Italy. He's currently represented by George Billis Gallery and works out of his studio in Brooklyn.

Double Overtime Shift, Urban Industrial Landscape, Contemporary Realist Painting
By Art Chartow
Located in Chicago, IL
The factories of Art Chartow's "Double Overtime Shift" represent strength, industrial might, and the ability to vanquish nature. This place is strange, sinister and forbidding yet at the same time beautiful and fragile. The artist's uses paint to express the power of light at this particular time of day. The winter sun has cast it's light onto the cold metal silos to bring some hope of warmth - as seen on the melting snow covered road. This contemporary realist painting is framed in a simple black wooden frame measuring 23.25h x 45.25w inches.
