David Hochbaum

Art at Large, New York

Below Us is The Sky

Art @ Large is proud to present an exhibition of Photo Constructions by David Hochbaum.

David Hochbaum's art is the construction of paintings built on photographs and images that are not only the contemplation of human behavior, but also a reaction to history, astronomy, sex, and iconoclastic symbols. While maintaining dialogue with his own behavior, each picture produces a vision from his private world bound to elements and symbols. An exposition of women and men caged in a world constructed by natural elements and surrounded by foreign symbols. Artistic craftsmanship of the captured image married with the depositions of alienation war with archetypal roles of gender, age, and reason. The figures in his work seek a balance between the static and kinetic forces of a very surreal and psychosexual environment in which they dwell.

Built from a melange of wood, metal and paper, both photographic and printed matter, the work is painted with oil, acrylics, varnishes, pencils and inks. These images are layered physically as well as historically, combining the figurative approach of the 19th century photographer with the medieval alchemist projected through the eyes of a 21st century cubist.

An opening reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2003, 6 - 9:00pm, at: Art @ Large. The exhibition continues through November 29, 2003.

Gallery Hours: Tues - Sat, 11AM - 6PM
