David Dew Bruner is a draughtsman who pushes his limited selection of mark-making devices to their limit. He experiments with layering, engraving, and erasing to effect unique textures and gestures in each drawing. His "Oculus" series comprises geometric abstractions with a repeating theme of circles; these shapes are fragmented, eclipsing one another in varying shades of grey. These drawings play off of one another with a similar visual language, making them a dynamic pairing that can be hung together or separately. These works come with white frames (pictured) and are signed by the artist.
Statement from the artist:
In 2011, after a 15 year gap in my career from making art, a death in the family spurred me to once again pick up my pencil. The first series was a familiar one: the beloved oak tree of the South which I had drawn since I was first taught the skill in 1972. I have always loved art history and, seeking inspiration, I began looking at other artists, eventually discovering the work of Graham Sutherland. A single detail in one of his drawings set me off down the trail of reinterpreting/digesting/reassembling his and others’ works. The original source of inspiration often gets completely lost in the new work but the concept remains intact. I spin and riff off of others’ ideas and by doing such, the viewer and I gain more insight to the original work while experiencing something altogether new. I have so far used A. J. Drysdale (the Live Oak series), Graham Sutherland (The Sutherland Project and The Figure), Picasso (Equus), Constable's cloud studies (Painting a Whisper), Manet (the Olympia series) and Velasquez (the Infanta Margarita series).
An important part of my drawing practice comes from the story about Rauschenberg erasing a de Kooning drawing. I loved the idea that something else was on that sheet of paper: pre-existing images, ghosts of other hands, total mystery. Some drawings may have up to 4 drawings on the page that I have erased; sometimes all that is left is the indentation of the mark which will only be visible when there is shading or a smudge.
