David Barnett
'Anticipating Spring' signed artist's proof giclee print on watercolor paper

2003

About the Item

'Anticipating Spring' is an artist's proof giclée print on watercolor paper after the original 2003 watercolor. Recalling the works of post-impressionist Henri Matisse, Barnett's vibrant watercolors depict a panoply of flowers that engage each of the viewer's senses. The subtle gradations in hue suggest textural changes on the flower petals, while the luminous white space between the flowers functions as an aromatic haze, lush and intoxicating. The tonal sensitivity that Barnett is able to elicit from watercolor perfectly complements the flowers' total engagement of the viewer's sensorium.

  • 'Morph Dog Series: Celebration' signed artist's proof I/XXV giclée print
    By David Barnett
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    ‘Celebration’ is an artist’s proof giclée print, signed and dated by the artist in the lower right. This piece is a part of Barnett’s ‘Morph Dog Series,’ so named for his use of a “morph dog”—a dog-shaped foam sculpture that transforms into a cube when turned inside out—to paint. Against a muted horizon, multicolored rings ignite the sky like fireworks as confetti cascades to the bottom of the frame; rows of morph dogs further ornament the display in red and blue.

  • 'Beaver Lake Flowers' signed giclée print on watercolor after 1996 original
    By David Barnett
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    'Beaver Lake Flowers' is an artist's proof giclée print after the 1996 original, signed by the artist in the lower right. Working in the organic and mutable hues of watercolor, Barnett's flowers emerge from out of the variegated undergrowth only to dissolve back into pure color just as quickly. Barnett's mastery over color and light reveals him as a student of the Impressionists, while his tendency towards abstraction highlights his appreciation of later Expressionists as well.
