The innovative artist Doug Powell creates the illusion of three-dimensional form through the use and arrangement of recycled or up-cycled computer keyboard keys. Each computer key cap has a unique, tangible history that bears the weathered patina of thousands of uses. “I want the viewer to ponder the infinite, profound combination of thoughts, ideas and inspirations that have surely passed through this intellectual porthole...all made possible with just the common computer key,” Powell said. From a distance, the three-dimensional mosaics look like a textured painting, but closer examination reveals an unexpected landscape of hidden words, phrases and quotes intimately related to the work. In effect, the viewer gets a little history lesson and further insight into the subject. Since pioneering the art form in 2010, Powell has had more than 25 mosaics installed in more then a dozen Ripley’s “Believe It Or Not!” museums worldwide. In 2017 and 2018, Powell was featured in the Spectrum Miami Art Show during Art Basel winning the Director’s Award both years as well as Spectrum Selects and Spotlight Awards. Doug has also been featured in the prestigious Palm Beach Art Exhibit at the Palm Beach Convention Center,
