"Fragile and Broken" Painting

David's romantic and yet graphic compositions reveal his personal celebration of nature and the stillness of the landscape that surrounds his studio in rural Pennsylvania. He invites us to a contemplative space and time beyond the material world. Born in California, his artistic formative years were spent throughout the continental United States and Hawaii but grounded in the rich history of Newport, Rhode Island. Strong modern Danish, Japanese and Latin influences also helped define David's strong contemporary language to express concepts borne out of otherwise classic points of view. David's extensive and successful graphic design and illustration career is marked by key clients such as Disney, Warner Bros., Scripps Howard, and Viacom. The trend forward influence of designing content for these key media players defines the foundation of the non-conformist spirit of David's work, marking the symbolic meaning and concepts associated with image making and design. Artist's statement: "My paintings extract and capture the sublime in the ordinary, as an object and a moment suspended in time."
