About the Item
Dallas artist David A. Dreyer’s eighth solo exhibition at Valley House Gallery was presented early in 2021, accompanied by an exhibition catalogue. His recent paintings are inspired by music as well as the Cold Mountain poems of Han-shan, Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), as translated by Gary Snyder. Dreyer earned his BFA in 1990 and his MFA in 1992, both from Southern Methodist University.
"I want my paintings to be a celebration of pure nature and moment—homage to the sacred spaces of memory. I begin with small automatic drawings, a practice of intuitive organization used as a catalyst for paintings. Drawings originate in the realm between the hand and eye, a sensuous experience with seemingly endless possibilities. It is more difficult to explain what I paint than why—which is to create a unique image that discloses personal recognition of things never seen and space that imparts a sense of self. My process is organic, evolving through moments of insightful meditation that fuel curiosity and reveal discoveries with uncertain predictability. I take from the familiar as dreams take from the real. In mining an area of the unfamiliar, a place where dream and invention exist, I refine that which can only be imagined—till things never seen seem familiar."
—David A. Dreyer
The overall dimensions, including the artist-made frame, are 49 1/2 x 55 1/2 inches.

Shadow Play
By Anne Subercaseaux
Located in Burlingame, CA
'Shadow Plat' is 40.5 x 37 inches. Anne Subercaseaux's gleaming paintings realistically bridge urban with rural in the form of representational fragmented depictions of contemporary architecture, including city structures, roadways, and bridges as they intersect with natural shadows and light. There is an ethereal quality to her meditative images that celebrate the natural abstract beauty all around us. Artist signed, titled and dated verso. Condition is excellent.
