Item Description
David Lester Learn grew up in Pennsylvania, spent many years in New York, then fifteen years in Italy before moving to the South Bend Area.
The quotes below are reviews from a one person show—Impressioni del Grande—held in Italy.
“David Learn is a “classical” painter, but his vision goes beyond the representation of nature. In a landscape he grasps constant values, harmony, even when harmony is unbelievable, and he masters the natural elements by means of his composition characterized by steadfast symmetry, in order to hand over to us the eagerness of his unquenchable attention to nature.”
Maria Francesca Saibene, Traduzione diMaria Giulia Telaro
“David Lester Learn’s drawings (with in his painting) are evocative and sometimes very amusing. He is an alchemist, able to change the deep experience of these sights of landscape into original atmospheres and visions. The texture of the color isn’t descriptive, and the lines result in symbols which recreate new images and symmetrical construction. All these aspects reveal the playful style of the artist who creates intimate impressions which everyone can see as their own.”
Cinzia Santomauro
“David Lester Learn’s Painting style alternatively features submerged shapes and an emotional, tactile expansion of color. He senses by intuition the mountain’s organic genealogy, its being an organism; he spots its moving, as well as its still, elements. Leonardo Da Vinci was the first to liken the mountain to a human being: “Its flesh being the soil, its bones the ligaments of the rocks, its blood the water veins.”
The artist’s painting proceeds by successive layers, just like in a mountain: black and green stone alternating with woods. The water permeates the soil joining up the two habitants, the one at the feet of the mountain, and the other all over it; but often, it conjoins also with earth and sky.”
