Artist Statement:
David Hewitt has long been
intrigued by the architecture
and infrastructure of large
urban cities – where new and
weathered signs, buildings,
and colors create a patchwork
of interesting layers and
texture. Seeing these objects
randomly co-exist and
intersect with each other
provides David with his
initial concepts and
motivation to create.
David’s work reflects a
similar experience with layers
of paint, text, images, and
salvaged materials. Although
he often begins a new piece
with a central object and
color palette in mind, his
work evolves freely through a
process of adding layers and
textures, and then sanding
them away.
Early in his career as a
self-taught artist, David
painted solely with oil
paints, but this quickly
evolved to include acrylic,
fabric, wood, metal, and any
other materials interesting
enough to attach to the
surface. Over time, painting
became creating, which then
became constructing and soon
David realized that “building”
a painting was much more
satisfying to him creatively.
David has also found
inspiration from his travels
across Asia, where his most
recent home was in Tokyo,
Japan. He currently lives and
works in the San Francisco Bay
Area.
