Galen Gibson-Cornell’s Ombré is a layered exploration of color, material, and transformation, crafted from found street posters sourced in New York City and Berlin. Through a meticulous process of deconstructing and reassembling, he weaves these urban remnants into a shifting gradient of texture and tone. Incorporating thread, zippers, and magnets, Ombré introduces elements of flexibility and movement, allowing the composition to evolve. The piece reflects the ephemeral nature of city surfaces—where advertisements, graffiti, and messaging constantly fade, overlap, and reappear—creating a dynamic interplay between control and chance, structure and impermanence.
