About the Item

This contemporary geometric abstract monotype on archival paper layers shapes on a blue background transitioning from deep cobalt on the bottom to teal at the top. A red orange rectangle in the top left and golden yellow star in the top right complement the cool hues of the blue background. Signed, dated and titled on recto. Framed in a light natural wooden frame. 35.5 x 23.75 inches (image size), 40.25 x 29.25 inches (paper size) (unframed), $2000. (unframed), 44 x 31.375 inches (framed), $2500. (framed). A monotype is a painting/drawing/inking on a surface that is transferred to paper or another receiving surface. A monotype is not repeatable as it allows only one print of the original image elements. It is a unique work with no editions. By layering geometric planes and simple patterns on fields of rich color, David Collins conveys depth, movement, and a shifting sense of place using the formal elements of painting. Structures develop suggesting folded paper, fragments of wings, domestic dwellings or industrial buildings. These images are drawn from childhood recollections of homes, construction sites in 1970s Dallas and from time spent in airplane hangars while visiting his father’s workplace. Planes of color crop up to create floors, wall-like surfaces, eaves and overhangs; silhouettes evoke cranes, cables and overpasses. Ultimately, these architectural notions do not remain whole, they fracture and fall away to reveal other chambers or the outside world. A simultaneity of interior and exterior space describes the liminal in-between. This falling away of form opens up the paintings to a dynamic landscape with a sense of forces moving in many directions at once. Collins' prints reveal internal structure and order amidst chaos. Despite the shifting and multitudinous spaces, the paintings find resolution, achieving balance and stillness. Collins earned an BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design. He is a two-time recipient of the Yaddo Fellowship. His work has been featured in The New York Times and Dallas Art News. Collins work is in numerous private and corporate collections.
