Dean De Cocker will be presenting a dual exhibit, comprising his sculptural objects and his collection of faithfully restored BMX bikes in the exhibition Made in the Pacific. From the juxtaposition, viewers will observe the artistic influences that De Cocker derives from popular culture and the manufactured objects of his childhood.

Dean De Cocker's work is part of a continuing series, Blue Jackets Return. De Cocker transforms flat, two-dimensional surfaces into three-dimensional objects via techniques of aircraft construction, whereby fabricated objects of inner structures and outer coverings create volumetric enclosures. He derives much of his inspiration from everyday objects such as mailboxes, aircraft, wings, propellers, heavy machinery, and architectural works. Recently, his interest in race car fabrication and collecting vintage BMX bicycles from the 1970s has led to subtle changes in form and color.

De Cocker is an Associate Professor in the Art Department at California State University, Stanislaus. Recent solo exhibitions include High Tide at Limn Gallery, San Francisco, CA in 2008 and Return to Pearl at 643 A Project Space, Ventura, CA in 2008. Recent group exhibitions include Lust for Machines (Dean De Cocker and Matt Furmanski) at Santa Ana College Main Art Gallery, Santa Ana, CA in 2009. His work is in numerous collections including the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, Laguna Beach Museum, Laguna, CA and Merrill Lynch, Sacramento, CA.
