Abstracted Shapes

Abstracted Shapes

Abstracted shapes—some purely abstract, others costumed lovingly in representational scenes—is the theme of a new two-artist show opening April 6 at Bonner David Galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The artists are Andy Burgess, the Britishborn Arizona painter who creates nuanced architectural scenes around modern and postwar homes and buildings, and Brad Howe, a Brazil-educated sculptor who uses colorful metals to create free-standing and wall-mounted pieces that evoke movement and energy. Although their works are very different, the two artists are linked by their strong presentation of color, form and shape.

Burgess’ works in the show will include his popular architectural paintings that emphasize modern design. Although he largely paints houses, this show will also feature automotive subjects that are parked curbside in front of modern residences. The subjects reflect the artist’s interest in bygone eras of design, where objects and structures reflected a forward-looking attitude about form and function.

Living the Dream

Counterintuitively, David Gluck was a painter before taking up tattooing little more than a decade ago. While skin is a completely different substrate and ink a far cry from oil paint, the skills must be transferrable to some degree because there is a wait-time of nine months to get an appointment with him.
