Siena Art Institute’s ‘Drawing Connections’
Posted by David | Filed under Drawings, Events, Shows
I am happy to announce that the work you see below will appear at the Siena Art Institute‘s Grand Opening exhibition, titled ‘Drawing Connections’, which will open this September 24th, in Siena, Italy. So, if you happen to been in or around Siena toward the end of September or during the month of October I highly recommend that you pop in for a visit!
The exhibition’s theme is (as the title suggests) based on drawing. . . “bringing artists from all over the world together to celebrate the act of drawing on a postcard sized work. [They are] looking for original drawings or other artworks that celebrate the act of drawing (understanding that the act of drawing can also be celebrated in a variety of media outside of traditional drawing materials such as graphite and charcoal.”
Closer toward the opening of the exhibition there will be a downloadable catalog displaying all of the artists’ work that will appear in the exhibition. I will post a link as soon as the catalog is on-line.
And this is what they look like when displayed side-by-side:
Entanglement P6 (A, B, & C) • ink & marker • 15cm x 10.5cm (each) • 2011

Good news! From July 13th – August 10th, 2012, I will be having a two-artist exhibition at LARAC‘s Lapham Gallery (they just received a grant to redesign their website) in Glens Falls, NY in which I will be unveiling at least two, new, large-scale works. I will be sharing the gallery with Elizabeth Snipes (you can check out her website here). I will post an update with more detailed information as the opening date approaches.

Unfinished Projects Part 3
Posted by David | Filed under Drawings, Unfinished Projects
Welcome to Part 3 of the Unfinished Project series, the final installment. Pictured below are four projects that I worked on that haven’t been used for anything and haven’t been shown in any gallery for any reason. Once again, it is quite a shame because I spent much time and energy on these projects (oh, ‘woe is me’) but they just weren’t up to par.
This first project was originally submitted for an international juried exhibition (in the UK) and was not accepted. The full title for the piece is: If a quark blinked into existence and then immediately blinked out of existence right before your eyes, this is not what it would look like. Back to the drawing board.
Back to the Drawing Board • inkjet Print, vinyl prints • 2011
The next (rather large) drawing was completed in 2007:
Thought-Organ: Wisdom • 78″w x 30″h • graphite, ink wash • 2007
The next image is a digital mock-up of a several drawings that I combined to then create an intaglio print from. I did create a print from it but it came out really bad. Unfortunately, I do not have any images of the failed print. The title suggests a ‘divining of oblivion’ — a topic that still pervades my work.
Oblivination • Ink, pencil, digital • 2006
And, the final pieces below are simply interesting croppings of another large-scale drawing (probably about 6-8 feet long) titled Thought-Organ: Love that I never exhibited.
Taken from Thought-Organ: Love • Digital & Graphite • 2007
Thought-Organ: Love (The End) • Graphite • 2007
Unfinished Projects Part 2: Collected Subconscious
Posted by David | Filed under Drawings, Installations, Unfinished Projects
Welcome to Part 2 of the Unfinished Projects series. The piece I would like to discuss today was originally conceived in late 2007 (while I was still working toward my MFA) and is titled Collected Subconscious. At this time I was looking at the automatic drawings of Austin Spare, as well as, the Surrealists. I think there are some really interesting conceptual ideas happening here and an interesting use of light and shadow in a work of art, but, overall it was lacking in several areas and that’s why it got benched. Maybe I’ll revisit this concept in the future. Who knows?
A much more ambitious alternate arrangement.
A sample conscious/subconscious line drawing on plexi-glas.
When searching for images for the Unfinished Project series I came across the image below. I have no idea what it was intended for. All I know is that I spent a great deal of time on it and I never used it for anything!
