"Drawbridge", Modernist Bay Area California Abstracted Landscape with Boats

2003

About the Item

"Drawbridge", an expressive contemporary abstracted landscape painting by David Fleming (American, 20th Century). The artist uses swirling, painterly brushstrokes in a palette of primary colors; the blue water and sky with yellow accents framed by red urban landmasses on each side, highlighted with touches of green detail work that blends from geometric cityscape into abstraction. Signed "Fleming" lower right. Unframed. Canvas size: 24"H x 36"W. Santa Cruz artist David Fleming graduated from San Jose State University with a B.S. in industrial design, and soon went to work for Ford in Detroit as a car stylist. After two years he returned to California to work for Lockheed as an off-road vehicle designer. Fleming spent a year in Stuttgart, Germany, working for Porsche, designing cars, and helicopters, and later returned to California to pursue full time painting. David Flemings paintings have been exhibited in many galleries and exhibitions, including: Los Robles Gallery in Palo Alto, the Union and the Luggage Store Galleries in San Francisco, and the Henry Miller Library at Big Sur. He has also participated in the Santa Cruz County Open Studios yearly since 1996, and has had numerous shows at Community Chest Treasures in Santa Cruz, the Pacific Grove Art Center, Santa Cruz County Government Building, Santa Cruz Art League, Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, Smith Gallery at UC Santa Cruz, Stone Gallery in Oakland, and Pajaro Valley Arts Council Gallery. Fleming also taught art and design at San Jose State University for 35 years before retiring in 2002. Unframed. Image, 24" X 36".

  • Garden In Luca, White Chair
    Located in Westport, CT
    "My life as a painter began in the late 1950s when abstraction was “The only game in town”. I followed and progressed through gesture, organic and finally, geometric non-objective painting. The radical move for me was to discover that the real world of landscape lurked behind all that past work. My childhood in the mountains of Pennsylvania pervaded my “way of seeing” and I wanted to investigate and celebrate the infinite variety of tone, color and composition that I found around me. Sky, the structure of trees, mist and water appeared to fill a hunger to look again and again. There was mystery and danger lurking behind the beauty, and my aim was to try to avoid the cliché and explore the infinite structure of the visual landscape. Now I use my camera as a sketchbook and search for images that seem to offer odd structure and “mystery”. I shoot multiple points of view, cull, crop, and mostly discard. The surviving photographs become the catalyst for the paintings and the process is always a mediation between memory and the small image pinned to my easel...
