Artist Statement for David Huckabe
|
|
|
I am inspired, influenced, and guided by the many facets of the African legacy in the Diaspora. My work is created with the intent of enlightening and beautifying galleries and living spaces. It is also created to promote, reclaim, and preserve the complete African Legacy. In my work, I blend elements of the past and present to create images that inspire the future. Ancient sculptures, temples and sacred writings meet today’s Woman and Man in order to promote the obvious connections.
-David J. Huckabe
Featured Collection: 'Daughters of the Aton'
Originals and Fine Arts Prints: Relived through the works of David J. Huckabe.
The 18th Dynasty of Egypt’s Golden Age was a period of spiritual and artistic innovation. This period is known as the Amarna period and the spiritual focus was based upon the adoration of Aton Ra (the physical manifestation of the sun). The principle promoters of this movement were King Akhenaton and Queen Nefert-Iti.
The focal points of these mixed media collages are the several beautifully detailed stone sculptures and relief carvings of the King and Queen’s nine daughters. It also incorporates the various masterpieces of African art, which were produced by the chief sculptors of the kingdom.
Through the artistry of David J. Huckabe, these beautiful princesses, their family and legacy live again. This vividly powerful collection is creatively intended to present the daughters of the Aton as if they lived and shared the experiences of their sisters and descendants of today.
************ BIO ***********
A native of New Haven, Connecticut, David Huckabe studied art and African History at Western Connecticut State University where he received his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Illustration.
His current body of work, Daughters of the Aton, features mixed media paintings and prints that vividly fuse contemporary African women with African women from their glorious legacy.
A student of African History and spirituality, Huckabe combines ancient sculptures, temple pillars and floral motifs with today’s African woman in the Diaspora. With acrylic paints, colored pencils and collage elements, Huckabe weaves a rich tapestry of ancient beauty with today’s woman.
David Huckabe has exhibited with renowned artists throughout the tri- state area. Huckabe has been a featured artist in several showcase events such as the March of Dimes Art Auction , and the Madame C.J. Walker Celebrity Open House. His works has also been featured in the New Haven Register and the New Haven Advocate.
