Come out to see David
Knapp's painting exhibition, Spirit of Love, on Thursday
10/24/13 at the Simon Schwob Memorial Library on CSU's main campus at 6:30.
David Knapp will be
graduating CSU with his BFA this December Summa Cum Laude. He
currently lives in Seale, Alabama with his wife Taylor Knapp, (soon to
come) son Josiah and their dog Lucy. David is interested in the spiritual
and its relationship to art and explores these ideas in his paintings.
A message from the
artist:
“Continuing and
expanding on previous themes, I portray abstractions of fire, water, wind, and
light along with the use of elements such as gold. I have continued
experimenting with different techniques of application of paint and continue a
predominately spontaneous process. This process builds from the seed of an
idea, whether from an experience or a revelation, for each painting. I aim to
follow my spirit, in tune with the Spirit of Love, while working on these
paintings. Because I am a body, soul and spirit, however, all three influence
the work. I paint in the physical and I am influenced by my mind, will and
emotions (technical training, mood, etc.). That being said, my goal is to allow
the spirit a predominate role in the process by tuning my body and soul to come
into harmony with the atmosphere from which my spirit works.”
