About the Item

Figurative abstract cubist style drawing in an antique wood frame, inspired by artwork by Graham Sutherland “Sutherland Project VII” by Hudson Valley artist, David Dew Bruner, made in 2015 23.5 x 11.5 inch graphite on paper drawing in a 27.5 x 15.5 inch antique black stained wood frame Signed, front lower right Artwork is in excellent condition and ready to hang as is The frame exhibits wear consistent with age which is an intentional decision made by the artist This abstract figurative graphite drawing on paper was inspired by work by Graham Sutherland. The drawing is completed in an abstracted cubist style where the artist drew continuous lines in the shapes of a figure, creating a shard-like effect. At close range, the viewer can notice layers that were erased and redrawn. The white abstracted figure is greatly contrasted against the dark and heavy graphite background. The drawing is complemented by an antique black frame, hand picked by the artist. The frame exhibits wear consistent with age, which an intentional decision made by the artist and adds to the artwork's appeal. About the artist: When he’s not designing stained glass or city park gardens, David Dew Bruner unleashes yet another facet of his talents via graphite drawings. A wealth of knowledge, both studied and intuitive, Bruner finds inspiration in many of his artistic predecessors. In his process he retains a resonating detail from a particular series of work and then reinterprets and reassembles the influence into his own drawing experience. Oftentimes, drawings are the accumulation of up to four pre-existing images, as an ode to Rauschenberg's erased DeKooning piece, drawn and erased any number of times until the pinnacle of Bruner's vision is achieved. Bruner has the eye of a hawk, and his years spent in dealing antiques means he knows a treasure when he finds one. Therefore, his studio, once an old train depot in Valatie, NY, has been tastefully converted to not only house his personal collection of art and mid century modern fixtures, but also to store a stockpile of vintage and modern frames. As he zealously produces one inspired work on paper after the next, he predestines a frame for each drawing before it is completed. In recent years, the artist has made two new series inspired by Morandi's bottle still lifes and Francis Bacon's portraits. The likeness of each artist's subject is expressed on paper, re-envisioned through Bruner's characteristic style of excitedly applied graphite that produce shard-like fragments embedded with deep interwoven marks. David Dew Bruner will also feature work inspired by Richard Lindner’s figures and Velasquez's Infanta Margarita.
