History of Artist Techniques

As we all know history will exchange paths at one time or another on the things we do. The artist conducted a search for quite sometime to find the exchange of his "Artistic Balance".

The art of Mr. Christoph Beck of Basel, Switzerland, 1682 is very close in technique and style. Mr. Beck made the "Crown of the Silver Guild" and presented it to the Royal House of Switzerland. The primary difference is the mediums, he used the malleable alloy Silver and I use Stainless Steel.

I have challenged myself to create sculptures of refined detail with the style of ancient world metal work that holds a modern twist. With a painterly style, layering of translucent acrylics brings out the details of the "Single Blow and Repousse' techniques". A subject line that is taken from the essence of nature for a full body art by making a balanced composition. High expectations for quality, an art style for those that demand better things in their life style.

Deeper Art designed by the Collector

A lot of times an Artist gets trapped in their own work and has a hard time breaking their pattern of thought. Currently, I am breaking that thought pattern by working with Collectors to create "Consumer Centric" compositions within their liking. My creativity will be centered and focused on the Collectors decor and style of living.

"Wandering Fantasy" is a wall art composition for a Collector that measures 33" wide and is 48" high. The main topic is the Pink Clematis which spans the entire height of the art. The introduction of the Wandering Jew at the top center is flowing into the main stream of the art.

Rosa Boarder

The sculpture design "Rosa Boarder" was made as a ceiling art piece that is suitable for our home as an illustration of the design. The composition is made of Stainless Steel and is Acrylic painted that measures 8 inches high x 5 feet long. The artist is currently working in Stainless Steel for a "Green" material as to help our recycling efforts. This material comes from a local sheet metal company "J&J SheetMetal Company in Clinton Twsp, MI.

The Sun Series

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.

Asian Prince

Being creative in new designs for interior decorating is a passion for Dave Bushell. He composed this piece of art slowly as to give mother nature simple kisses of delight. The combination of Asian Orchid, Western Gardenia, and Ornamental Grass became a great composition of Bushell's favorites. The design is soft yet it releases a sensual tone for decorating in her favorite room or office setting. The art was made in Dec '08 measuring 15"x 16" of Stainless Steel and Acrylic mediums.

Composing sculpture of Floral Design for people is an extension of my feelings and appreciation for life. I have worked with may groups of people throughout my life expressing the importance of Quality and the way we control it. In our busy every day communication we sometimes loose touch with that control and the expectations of our customer. As an artist of floral design I have made a commitment to entire Art Community and Market to exceed client expectations by putting a composition together with pride and merit. This composition is named "Individuality" which is 8 inch by 5 feet long.

Artist Statement

I choose to use quality industrial metal drops of Stainless Steel to make my art because it is a green material, a material that will be transformed into subjects of nature, the essence of nature itself. By using old world techniques, sculptures of accent art are created. With a painterly style, progressive layers of translucent acrylics emit luminance of the detail, a natural display in two or three dimension art. My creativity and passion flows with Customer Centric Art, a subject that is centered and then composed to form the sculptures, a blend for the Collectors' interior designing.
