About the Item

"Moon Flight" lacquer and acrylic painting on glass by Dave Archer, 1985 Dave Archer Nelson -Born January 15, 1941, San Luis Obispo, California This is an original work of art. It was all hand painted directly on the back side of this one piece of glass. The work has been signed by the artist on the front (lower right). It was original purchased from Swanson Art Galleries, Ltd. of San Francisco and Sausalito, California. (Please see photos). It is in excellent condition without cracks or scratches. It is displayed in a black wooden gallery frame with light scuffing on edges. Famed measurement is 30.25" x 40.25". Dave Archer as a 14 year old knew he wanted to be an artist after entering an art competition in high school. In the 1970s, Archer was introduced to glass painting by artist Ron Russell. Their mutual friend Lee Byrd had been experimenting for years with electricity and built his own Tesla coil. Eventually, it occurred to Archer and Russell to combine Byrd’s electrical experiments with their glass paintings. After much trial and error, the trio were able develop an art process quite similar to what Archer uses in his art today. Archer's primary medium is reverse glass painting, which he pioneered with artist Ron Russell and Lee Byrd. The technique consists of applying paint or pigment to the underside of a glass plate then applying a million volts of electricity generated from a Tesla coil to disperse the paint into randomly generated patterns. This gives the painting a space like quality. Dave Archer's paintings have been featured on Star Trek, decorating the Enterprise set on the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, received screen credit in the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and was included in Star Trek Generations.
