Deborah Rose Guterbock

Biography

Deborah Rose Guterbock is an urban surrealist painter and graphic novelist currently living in Baltimore, Maryland.

Her work is intended to depict a post-apocalyptic vision of our present/future and the role of humanity in “Spectacular Society.” As someone who spent ten years of her life growing up in the Japanese school system, and as the daughter of two university scholars, she is constantly asking questions concerning identity and how it comes to be. Her current work explores the relationship of humanity to technology, the ways in which we define gender and why, issues surrounding the displacement of identity due to international cultural immersion, the anthropomorphiziation of technological objects, the relationship between our sense of self and our creations, and the choices that our species makes and why.

She has a BFA from George Mason University.
