I was talking last week with Interior Designer Patt Slack @ her Gallery the "Rivers Edge" in Wyandotte, MI about my art style. I want her to help me by asking some of her clients about my art to find out what the public really thinks of it. With her feed back from some of her clients we discovered that a common perception is being made of the art.
The style is too 70's... I started to explain that it isn't production art... "STOP Dave", Patt stated. I have been explaining that to clients but they insist that it looks too 70's.
I need a new dimension in the art to make it in this generation of Art Collectors.
For the next couple of weeks I will be looking at the art style to "unfold" with a new dimension in some of my original pieces. The new dimension will be added to Wall Art but Pedestal Art will inherit a stand made just for that Composition.
I choose Stainless Steel to make metal sculptures because it is a green material that can be transformed into natural subjects of nature by using material, which would have been recycled. Using old world techniques of the Silver Guild, traditional hand forming is applied to achieve exquisite texture and relief shapes that move the alloy. With a painterly style, translucent acrylics are blended in progressive layers to emit luminance of the metal forming techniques.
