Inspiré par David Hammons, Mickalene Thomas ou encore Adrian Piper, Derrick Adams est un artiste pluridisciplinaire dont la pratique explore la façon dont les idées et les aspirations de chacun s’associent et s’attachent aux couleurs, objets et symboles. Son style coloré où la fragmentation de la forme règne, profondément inspiré par le cubisme, est élaboré à partir d’une observation minutieuse de son entourage immédiat, tout en puisant dans la culture populaire et ses souvenirs. Head #11 fait partie de la série Deconstruction Head, décrite par l’artiste ainsi : « Nous déchiffrons les objets construits grâce à leur apparence externe, mais à travers un procédé de déconstruction nous pouvons examiner ce qui gît sous la surface et vérifier leur pertinence et utilité ». Ici, ce procédé de déconstruction est rendu visible par la fragmentation inhérente au médium du collage, où les multiples matériaux font écho à ce processus de la construction de l’image de soi. De nombreuses œuvres issues de cette série ont désormais intégrées les collections permanentes de musée internationaux : Head #4 est ainsi conservée au Studio Museum à Harlem tandis que Head #2 fait partie de la collection du Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

His colourful, fragmented style of form, deeply inspired by Cubism, is developed from the close observation of his immediate surroundings, while drawing on popular culture and memories. Head #11 is part of the Deconstruction Head series, described by the artist as follows:“We decipher constructed objects by how they appear on the surface, but through deconstruction we can investigate what lies beneath the surface and test for relevance and purpose.''
Here, this process of deconstruction is made visible through the fragmentation inherent in the medium of collage, where the multiple materials echo this process of self-image construction. Many works from this series have now been incorporated into the permanent collections of international museums: Head #4 is in the Studio Museum in Harlem and Head #2 is in the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
