In time for the inevitable summer invasion of superheroes to our movie screens, the art of Jeffrey Veregge can serve as a gentle reminder that sometimes less is more.
You wont see Veregge’s art outside your local multiplex, which is a shame because his minimalistic movie designs would do well to counterbalance the extravagance of the superhero genre. Veregge is a Native American artist who translates the visual language of his Washington state S’Klallam tribe into iconic movie characters, preferably those with more enhanced abilities. With restrained precision he produces images that are reminiscent of both the stenciled paintings of Douglas Miles and the radically minimalistic and unofficial poster designs of someone like Eder Rengifo.
