{Artist We Love} ~ David Poppie

0

Hi everyone and {Happy Weekend}!

I recently was reading a Designer friends Face Book post (thanks Corey M.) and saw his comment about an artist that he loves now.  Out of pure curiosity, I clicked on the link and all I can say was, “WOW!” Hi work was fun, colorful, unique, and recycled found items.  So, I am sharing some of his work here with you today.  I hope you find it interesting and that it opens your mind up to what art can be and where it can come from.

His name is David Poppie. He holds a BA and an MFA from universities in Wisconsin.  Since around 1994, David has been involved in producing art pieces for sale and has been seen in numerous galleries, exhibitions (single and group), has been written about numerous times (like now) and works shared via television programming.  His work is diverse but seems to have a unique common thread.

David states on his web site, “My recent work involves the reclaiming of disposable objects in mass to create two and three dimensional works. Pieces can involve tea bags, matchbook strikes, plastic cutlery, etc. These items are generally disregarded and ignored by the everyday person……I also reassign their value by re-contextualizing them by creating a piece of art from them.”

David’s work can currently be seen at Pavel Zoubeok Gallery and others.  I hope you have enjoyed learning about a new artist today and how his work comes to be.  Check back often for more wonderful artist I find out about during my journey as a designer.
