Randy Akers travels the world seeking out vernacular dwellings—humble, weathered structures marked by rust, decay, and disrepair. In his paintings, these overlooked sites are reinterpreted with reverence, transformed into testaments of resilience, memory, and beauty. Each work reflects not only the passage of time but the lives and dreams once held within these fragile walls.
Throughout his journeys in Georgia and through artist residencies in France, Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Wyoming, and Washington, Akers aims to build a visual history of humanity and the undeniable beauty of age.
