My work transforms unremarkable and forgotten neighborhoods of the South into powerful metaphors, symbolizing lost connections and the passage of time.
Randy Akers is a visual artist working on Skidaway Island, Georgia. His work transforms unremarkable and forgotten neighborhoods of the South into powerful metaphors, symbolizing lost connections and the passage of time. His keen observation of color and space not only capture the present but also allude to the imminent threat of gentrification and undeniable change. Throughout his travels in his home state of Georgia, and broader through the artist residences in Andalusia, Spain and Puget Sound, Washington, Randy aims to build a visual history of humanity and the undeniable beauty of age.
