About The Artwork
Hand-cut collage on canvas with gel medium. Custom wood floater frame. This stunning collage features a scientific illustration of a Bengal tiger from the 1800’s adorned with vintage botanicals, upon a rich, glossy black background. This big beautiful cat lies alone - almost as it is captive in a black box - staring out to us with its majestic eyes. The tiger - typically symbolizing courage, determination and independence, reminds us to find strength to carry on or to fight the challenge at hand. Here is a timely statement on human consumption and consumerism (see the distant Burger King emblem). It represents rare animals - as the population of these cats is threatened by poaching and habitat destruction. It also remarks on technology (a favorite theme of Krovblit’s). Branching out towards sci-fi, enter the Krovblit Replicon or Krovblit Land Electronics. On closer inspection, locate the barcode with weight, unit price (per pound) and total price for the creature below it. This signature barcode is being applied throughout Krovblit’s Paradise Series almost subliminally - with the idea that such rare animals might be replicated by man - becoming sentient beings or androids. Deviating from Krovblit’s usual methods, this piece is finished on canvas and gel medium (as opposed to resin). It’s construction is lightweight due to the canvas base, making it easy to transport. The wood frame is hand-made, varnished in a charcoal stain with a hot pink inlay. This vibrancy accentuates the colors within the piece and adds an incredible pop.

California-based Canadian visual artist David Krovblit fuses images from vintage books and magazines with his original photography to make luxurious, hand-assembled collages. His visionary work is a reflection of his vivid imagination and almost dream state; an other-worldly consciousness. His asymmetrically designed depictions explore such themes as the preciousness of nature, the fragility of life and death, science fiction, fantasy and tongue-in-cheek social commentary. Krovblit’s work often triggers a reaction to the core - stimulating laughter, intrigue, nostalgia and amazement. Krovblit’s ever-evolving process combines old and new methods. Designed digitally, he prints the entire image at the desired scale (preferably large), then cuts the layers by hand and re-assembles them with adhesive on custom-sized, cradled wood panels or walls. Using instinct and flow to achieve the final composition, Krovblit is experimental - often diverting from his original layout in the analogue phase (pasting). A final coat(s) of resin seals the work and adds dimension. While the collages’ remastered stories as a whole are personally compelling and relatable to the soul, the eye is visually prompted to inspect the work’s physical elements more closely. Details such as paper that is poking up and outwards or suspended in thick resin, pastel strokes, paint splatter - even a layer of dazzling glitter or sugary fine glass becomes apparent. Krovblit’s stunning work has been seen in galleries, museums and juried art fairs across North America, including Toronto, California, New York, Chicago and Miami. He also participated in The California Cool Art Auction 2020 and is looking forward to the 2021 edition at the Laguna Art Museum.
