ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"The Triumph of the Nightingale", 2013, mixed media. The box is papier-mache and wood; the assembled elements include a hand-made garden gate, a nightingale and a child's arm, both sculpted from air-dried clay, natural vines, wire, and tacks. This is a sequel to Max Ernst's 1924 surrealist masterpiece "Two Children are Threatened by a Nightingale". In my version, the threat implied in Ernst's strangely static landscape has come to pass -- the nightgale has overcome the children.

David Holcomb
United States
Born in Montgomery, Alabama, and raised in the rural Appalachian foothills of the northeastern part of the state, my childhood was surrounded by the natural world, the rigid social and cultural traditions of the deep South, the distant rumblings of 1960's social changes, and the panoramas of human existence revealed to me through reading, music and art. Most of my adult life has been spent working as a graphic designer in Birmingham, South Florida, and Dallas -- primarily in the television industry -- where I was immersed yet another hybrid universe, a fun-house world of ego, transitory celebrity, and social manipulation. These days I live and work in a cabin on the edge of the Ozark National Forest in northwest Arkansas, decompressing.
