DEPTHCORE

About Us

Depthcore is an international art collective focused on modern and abstract art, incorporating design, photography, animation and audio. Established by Justin Maller and Kevin Stacey in 2002, our membership is comprised of artists of all ages from all locations around the world and all walks of life, united by their love for art, and their passion for innovation.

The group was established to provide a showcase for the best in modern craftsmanship, with the primary goals of breaking design conventions and pushing the boundaries of artwork created or enhanced digitally. In a medium inundated with repetition we aim to bring something unique and innovative with every release we put forth, as we illustrate, orchestrate and visually represent the thoughts, hopes and dreams of all corners of the globe.

Chapters

Every three to four months, the Depthcore Collective puts forth a collection of digital media and modern artwork contributed by our members in what are colloquially referred to as "Chapters" (formerly "packs"). Chapters contain anywhere from 50 to 150 selected works from various mediums, including digital art, photography, music, animations, and collaborative works. The releases are themed, and require each member to contribute their own interpretation of a central idea or concept. The themes are only as binding as the members imagination allows them to be, and artists are free to project any construction of the subject they desire. Accompanying each Chapter is featured content, consisting of a detailed interview with a featured member and several spotlighted artworks. These selections are made by the staff, and aim to promote artists and artworks of outstanding merit and theme relevance. They also give the public an insight into the true nature of the release, and give recognition to a member who has made an exceptional contribution to the group through their artwork and participation.

Our Artists

Many of the original artists from the group's inception still release with us today. We still occassionally invite artists from around the community to join our collective and help to keep our releases vibrant and fresh. We are currently not accepting applications; although we have in the past, the majority of our artists gain membership via private invitation as opposed to their own request.
