Item Description
From Milwaukee artist David Martin comes Cottage in Door County, Seasonal Series, a set of four oil on canvas paintings, each depicting the view from the entryway of the back (or south) patio of a Door County cottage during a different season of the year. These paintings are rendered in a Post Impressionist style. The image area of each painting measures 15.75" wide x 19.5" tall and is framed in a gold wooden frame of which the dimensions are 19.5" wide x 24" tall.
For this artist, art is about finding beauty and design in the everyday things with which we surround ourselves for comfort and reassurance. David is a firm believer in the power of art to influence our emotion and attitude. His paintings are meant to be positive, for they challenge the viewer to see the beauty in a bloom, a building, anything that is familiar yet unobserved.
David's style is representational. He likes to take an object and make it special, to give it importance either by enlargement or placement on the picture plane. With light and shadow, he attempts to achieve monumental status, something like an icon. By centering things or showing them at a bird's eye view, he offers a quirky, pleasing view of everyday objects.
David's artwork was featured here at the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center for our Mixed Media and Print show for the July 2011 Gallery Night & Day citywide exhibition in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
