About the Item
Abstract black-and-white still life drawing of bottles on a surface by David Dew Bruner
graphite on paper
19.5 x 38.5 x 1.75 inches
Framed in vintage frame, hangs flush to the wall
David Dew Bruner's "Morandi Bottle" series comprises black-and-white still lifes in graphite. While these drawings clearly depict bottles, they are markedly abstract; Bruner renders multiple perspectives in fragments that cooperate to embody a single object. It is difficult not to transpose each form into a figure and, with it, shape into posture; then, the bottles’ graphic organs suggest personalities or activities. "Five Morandi Bottles" features five bottles of different shapes and sizes realized in the same style. Their varying heights and widths serve to guide the eye around the picture with its interwoven frenzy of lines.
This is but one of several series wherein Bruner riffs off of the mark-making of another artist. He has borrowed from a diverse troupe of artists, from Picasso—art history’s reigning kleptomaniac—to A.J. Drysdale, the prolific painter known for his Louisiana landscapes. “The original source of inspiration often gets completely lost in the new work, but the concept remains intact,” Bruner explains.
More about the artist:
David Dew Bruner’s latest series of drawings are titled Morandi Bottles, referencing early 20th century painter Giorgio Morandi’s softly painted still life paintings of pastel-colored bottles. However, Bruner’s drawings rendered in graphite pencil and acrylic are forms at their most distilled, platonic ideals of bottles and jugs. A student of the Bauhaus aesthetic (his teacher studied under Joseph Albers), Bruner repetitiously spins variations of his design, pronounced by geometric mark makings akin to crystalline forms. He manages to portray multiple views of the object on the same plane. In Bruner’s case, the absence of an inherent underlying significance of the object itself is null. Yet these lifeless forms presented in unique vintage or contemporary frames seem to teeter with personality all the same.
