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.
Work in 2008 was difficult because of that old full-time job but the starving artist must carry on with life and still survive. Dave expanded his line of art this year by making a new series of art by making the "Sun Series". A lot of artist that make the "Sun", hope to catch a few rays and make someone smile. Dave put the sun series together piece by piece with hand made segments and then acrylic painted the Stainless Steel. The art can readily be hung on the wall or put on a custom stand if requested for table or mantle display. The Series are 12 inches in diameter and can be made custom if requested.
