The naive art painter, David Berkowitz Chicago has exhibited his art in almost every big art center, including Vienna,
Paris, Rome, London New York, Shanghai, Miami, and many others. He decided to
become an artist at a young age. He listened to himself and, fortunately, had
support from his close ones. He assumed that the quality of work and dedication
must yield some results, so he searched for interesting competitions and
participated in them.
Today, David Berkowitz
Chicago, who is a School of Art Institute of Chicago graduate, is equally known for his sculpting and painting skills. At the same
time, he is equally impressed with drawing and sculpting, which are constantly
interwoven. When he satisfies his hunger for painting he moves to sculpt and
vice versa. Both painting and sculpting are basin media and visual expression
media, only drawing is defined by two coordinates, while the sculpture is drawn
in a three-dimensional space.
The painter, David Berkowitz
Chicago recently announced a new series of drawings that he has been working on
for the past two years, which adds to his overall work when paintings are in
question. There are 11 works done in paper coal technic, this time some larger
format, complex as the creative process itself. In a recent interview, Berkowitz shares that, although his drawings appear as
photographs at a first glance, his intention has never been hyperrealism and
imitation of another media, but exploring the possibilities and limits of the
drawing itself and the attempt to place it in the contemporary context.
While most artists
only consider drawing in two dimensions—a surface that can be used to display
photosensitive chemicals or watercolor paints, for David Berkowitz Chicago, the paper
has vast potential as a material for sculpture. He appreciates paper for its
accessibility and hopes that others will see his work as an inspiration to
explore the medium. His faithful 3-D reproductions are often times elegant,
funny, and a little frightening.
