David's Story
Expressionist Artist and
Art Photographer Statement/Rant
Of
David LLoyd 3,
Besides Experience and Technical Expertise, the Primary Thing that My Art Work(s) and Photographs show is that I never COPIED the work of other Artist.
All my art and photographs show depth the illusion of 3D and invokes emotion. So you may not find all my images to be happy, there are many sides to life on this plain. I find new incite in each piece I create, and I carry that into each piece that follows. However I paint,and
photograph primarily to pleasure myself.There are so many different things to express, and so many different ways to express them, so that I don't think I'll run out, in this lifetime!
I believe that since the invention of the camera, the role of the artist and art-photographer shifted from copying to expressing what she/he sees. While I some times paint or photograph things that are real, I show them in unreal or altered states. It is creating something new, that I get off on. And I hope that the joy I feel as I create each piece,is passed along to every one who sees them.
With technology the number crunchers have taken
the human out of humanity and distilled the majority
of us down to the numbers. They have mastered
apathy, but they are having trouble with empathy.
Technology and humanity have one last difference,
humans have the ability to do things that are
completely out side of there programing. To act,
to surprise, ones self, and others. Compassion for
something or someone other than oneself, is an
equation that thus far can't be quantified.
I look for things and try to show ...Expand for more
in some way, things
that do not add up, are incomplete, or things that
show how beautifully broken we can be.
My quest is to find/show beauty in the unexpected,
unwanted, and most of all the dis-guarded.
I feel a kinship with these states of being.
That being said, I like who I am, and I am having fun.
Behind the pain, I see beauty everywhere!
Life is good! Aw Tiphareth!
My background is Art Reproduction. (Which I still do)
Well I'm more selective, it hurts to much to even paint,
most days. About 1996, I lost the use of my hands.
(Spinal cord damage ) from pedestrian vs hit and run car.
(1985) In 1998 I had neck fusion surgery on C-5,6&7.
In 2005 the Doctor wants to fuse the C-3,4 to C-5,6&7. I said no
and in September 2005 I got a Cannabis Recommend. And it decreases the amount of morphine I have to take to be able to do things like this.
Learning to use my hands, again, is the most surreal experience of my life.Although having attention deficient., dyslexia, and being ambidextrous,
reality has always confused me!
For the most part, the paintings I am doing now, are Me playing with color, canvas, binders, and minerals to play with the light.
And as a Photographer it is ALL about bending light.!.
The rest you can see for yourself. You don't have to think like me, just think.
Visit me at my playground
Home/Studio/Gallery:
By Appointment Only,
I have more bad days than good.
But if you'd like to come visit,
It could distract me from reality,
and I am all for that. Thank You.
