Retrofuturistic Art Made from Vintage and Scrap Materials

His artworks are made with old materials like wood, copper, and leather. Derek Scholte uses discarded materials as a sculptor uses clay, he lovingly combines, sculpts and models each material thus transforming everyday items into a new form with a new meaning.

His work tells the story of a dystopian or posts-industrial society where a large underclass can only survive by using discarded materials. His characters all look the same, with only subtle differences, a reference to the uniformity of dictatorships and the sheep-like nature and servility of mankind.

His characters share one common goal, though; They build vehicles and devices while having the dream to escape.
