About this artwork
HEADACHE was created during the pandemic COVID-19. As with other pieces from the series of dioramas, the artist is using repurposed materials and outdated electronics. The purpose is to explore the relationship between materials to best use in telling a story. Within the sculpture, the piece has an embedded string of LED lights behind the mask and is wrapped around the one eyeball represented by the end tip of the light bulb. When plugged in, the…

It can also be used as an exotic night light.

« To me as an artist, art is an ongoing evolutionary process. The more you do, the more you are prone to make so-called “happy accidents.” The happy accidents are the evolutionary parts of art that tend to have a lasting connection and stand the test of time. »
Aleks Rosenberg is a multi-disciplinary artist and filmmaker who resides in the United States and has exhibited and sold his works internationally. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute and MFA from Yale University School of Art. The central themes found in his works relate to the 'outside looking in' and the 'sun will always come up tomorrow'. For Rosenberg, there has always been tension between darkness and light, and as such, his compositions seek to find a balance between the two extremes. Working through series, he uses contrasting found or repurposed materials to leave clues for stories to be told.
