A grenade is shaped like an egg, but is a symbol of entirely the opposite. A Faberge egg: so delicate and priceless you wouldn’t want to hold it. A grenade: so volatile and destructive you wouldn’t want to hold it. The juxtapositions are interesting, but not as fascinating as the history... Carl Faberge, was commissioned by the Tzar to make a get-well gift for his wife. He created the first egg. Faberge would go on for many years making these beautiful creations. He did this rightup until around WWI. Now, it is important to understand that Faberge was one of the biggest jewellers in Europe at the time, with over 500 people in his Moscow factory alone. So, he understood production and working with metals i.e. gold, silver, etc. And finally, he was a friend of the Tzar and a royal jeweller. This is why he was given the commission to make grenades and other metal items for the war. He made over 6.5 million grenades in his Moscow factory. How ironic that he would start out by creating this egg - a symbol of life, and many years later he would produce grenades; a symbol of something so destructive and life taking! These images are full of dichotomies and tension. They are visually arresting and very provocative, but carry the weight of history in their back story.

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.
