About the Item
"Mirador" by artist David Everett is polychromed mahogany, and measures 28 1/4 x 30 1/2 x 15 1/8 inches. It is signed "© D EVERETT 2023".
David Everett was born in Beaumont, Texas, and received both his B.F.A. and M.F.A. from The University of Texas at Austin. In 1978, he was awarded a Faculty Travel Grant from Southwestern University in Georgetown to pursue a series of drawings in Italy. Valley House showed his first multi-articulated, painted wood sculptures in 1986. In 1989, his work became the first commissioned sculpture to be published by Neiman Marcus on the cover of its Christmas catalog.
David Everett is best known for his wood sculptures, but he is also creates relief panels, bronze sculptures, and 2-dimensional drawings and woodcuts. His most significant influence stems directly from his earliest memories with his brother; they had a mutual affinity for the forests, swamps, bayous, marsh covered plains and bays that are the landscape of Southeast Texas. From this vantage point, Everett began a life-long process of restating his observations into a visual art that explores what is, in his words, a paradoxical and allegorical interplay of both human and animal forms, celebrating the natural history of a personal world. His work often involves a totem-like pile of animals and figures that, contextually, become layered with meaning in their discussion of the fragile constructs within our universe. In addition to Everett's remarkable career as a visual artist, he is an accomplished musician; he played lead guitar in an East Texas Garage band called Six Deep whose 1967 single “Girl, It's Over” is now a collectors’ item. He approaches his sculptural forms accordingly, explaining that “My interest is not only in animals but the abstraction of the animal form...dealing with rhythms and intervals, colors and patterns, working a composition... not unlike music.”
In 2021, Texas A&M University Press released the publication "Another World: The Art of David Everett" with an insightful essay by Becky Duval Reese, respected art curator, writer, and retired director of the El Paso Museum of Art. The heart of the book is the abundant collection of breathtaking, full-color reproductions of Everett's carved and polychromed sculptures.

About this body of work:
“Everybody has that feeling when they look at a work of art and it’s right, that sudden familiarity, a sort of...recognition, as though they were creating it themselves, as though it were being created through them while they look at it or listen to it...” ―William Gaddis, "The Recognitions"
“A great deal of my recent work was made during a time when I was reading the great American novel by William Gaddis, "The Recognitions," the most demanding book I’ve ever read. Along the way, I extracted sentence fragments that interested me and I pieced them together to make the titles for the last three years of my work. So, my recent work is linked to Gaddis’ novel through the titles, but also in the theme of “recognition,” which speaks to the nature of my work. I feel my way through various processes until I recognize a possibility―a possibility that is promising in terms of visual dynamics but also in terms of giving a body to some part of my experience. It is my hope that the viewer is compelled to recognize some part of themselves reflected in the work.” —Michael O’Keefe
