"Infinities" by David Einstein, 2010

About the Item

In this Infinities series, process painter David Einstein creates an illusion of three-dimensional space using formal considerations of color. Flat grounds of acrylic paint were initially applied followed by the marks, which denied the flat surface thus creating this spatial relationship. Light, space and color was again a driving force allowing the viewer the illusion of entering a 3-D space. Scale of works were important in allowing the viewer a "door" to this space.

DAVID EINSTEIN, AMERICAN (1946- )

David Einstein is an artist working on the west coast of the United States. He studied painting and sculpture at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine and completed his undergraduate work at Oakland University in Michigan. David holds an M.F.A. Degree in Painting from Wayne State University, Michigan.

A painter of landscapes, David prefers to work in an abstract vein that gives him the freedom to render nature subjectively. Using oil and acrylic on canvas to convey impressions largely based upon memory of the complex formal interrelationships of juxtaposed mountains, water and clouds, David works in a reductive manner. Thinking of land and sky forms as strata of color, David reduces light to its color constituents and creates art that exists as autonomous reality offering a restored order, rather than chaos. David's work is a constant exploration of the abstract laws of color, apart from and a part of nature.

Along with his paintings, David explores ink and brush mark making on handmade paper and ceramic surfaces. The marks are intuitive and spontaneous, beginning with the first light. It is this light that represents David's marks and the process involved in making them. David goes beyond the traditional boundaries in this series of drawings where he explores the mystical and spiritual experience that evokes his continued commitment to the process.

David has participated in numerous solo, juried and invitational shows throughout the United States and Canada including The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio; The George Walter Vincent Smith Museum, Springfield, Massachusetts; Zack/Schuster Gallery, Boca Raton, Florida; and The Hansen Galleries in New York City. His work is represented in the collections of The Archives of American Art in Washington, D.C.; The Cranbrook Museum of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan; Jovan Cosmetics, Chicago, Illinois; and many other corporate, private and public collections. David's work was recently included in the publication Fixing the World / Jewish American Painters in the Twentieth Century.
