David Abed’s figures are often seen in water, though whether surfacing or submerging into the depths, we can never know. Working in the symbolist tradition, he is depicting either a slow, primordial beginning or humanity’s ultimate end. His palette is muted, shadowed; violet, blue, and black. Light finds its way through only in small glimpses, leaving the viewer disoriented, unsure whether it’s twilight or dawn. A gossamer-winged moth alights within the dark recesses of a skull; a woman carries her babies into the water, her intentions unclear. Offering no answers, Abed slips quietly between the realms of life and death, of hope and despair.
Abed completed a fine art degree from Illinois Institute of Art in 1992 and four additional years of training at the School of Representational Art, an atelier system of art instruction started by artist Bruno Surdo.

"Entanglement" Mixed media painting w/earth and plant matter.
By Kent Williams
Located in Chicago, IL
Kent Williams’ work melds the rigor of technical prowess with the iconoclast’s impulse to disrupt. Juxtaposing beautifully rendered classical forms with elements of abstraction and surrealism, Williams coaxes a sense of cohesion from essential contradictions. Although a virtuosic draftsman, he is concerned less with fidelity to the form than to the feeling. The result is an astonishing amalgamation of the sensual and the technical. Working in tactile surfaces and palpable brushstrokes, Williams doesn’t attempt to conceal the seams that form when joining contradictory concepts; carnal and cosmic, order and chaos, the sacred and the profane. Rather he allows us to witness the violence that occurs when two bodies collide and the beauty that can so often follow.
Entanglement was commissioned as the cover art for the Criterion Collection DVD of "Women in Love".
