For Denver-based artist Derrick Velasquez, making art goes hand in hand with building community. Beyond his acclaimed studio practice, he has taught, served on arts and culture committees, and launched local initiatives like Friend of a Friend Denver, all with the goal of fostering creative connections.

In its latest issue, Modern in Denver explores Velasquez’s Untitled series—rooted in bookbinding—and his recent work with stained glass. The interview offers insight into his process, his materials, and how his artistic practice extends far beyond the studio.

 


 

Pour l’artiste basé à Denver Derrick Velasquez, créer va de pair avec rassembler. Au-delà de sa pratique en atelier, il a enseigné, siégé sur des comités des arts et de la culture, et lancé des initiatives locales comme Friend of a Friend Denver, toujours dans le but de tisser des liens créatifs.

Dans son dernier numéro, Modern in Denver se penche sur sa série Untitled, inspirée de la reliure, ainsi que sur ses récentes expérimentations avec le vitrail. L’entretien offre un regard sur son processus, ses matériaux et la manière dont sa pratique artistique dépasse largement les murs de son atelier.
