About the Item
Dave Dunn’s art is defined by a unique ability to invest his inanimate metal constructions with both whimsy and primordial dark mystery. His works draw on imagery and meaning from a metallurgical era lost to the modern age. His frequent use of medieval elements in his welded and forged work style evokes a recognition of historical elements, while imbuing the work with nuance and fantasy. With a modern environmental consciousness, he assembles repurposed tools, found metal pieces or modern steel implements with deft creativity, he brings to life primordial creatures with movement and personality. Characterized by the spiked steel edges of medieval armaments and imbued with a dose of mid-century B-movie curiosity, his creatures reflect mysterious and fantastical life forms with natural and historical imagery.
From his earliest years growing up on a creek flowing into the Chesapeake Bay, he combined driftwood and other found objects deposited by high tides and repurposed them into art objects while daydreaming about what lurked beneath the waves. He also spent formative years living in Paris, France, the son of an American diplomat, surrounded by the medieval and renaissance imagery of the old world. Today he works out of his DunnInMetal Studios in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Dave Dunn’s work is represented in private collections in Paris and Normandy France, Willerzell Switzerland, New York City and Shelter Island NY, Los Angeles and Malibu California, Washington DC, New Orleans LA, Lexington KY, Asheville NC, Austin TX, Key West FL, the Hunt Country of Virginia, and Talbot County MD.
