the gorgeous art of David Band

It's Friday, and while looking forward to the weekend, I also find myself a little reflective with news of the recent loss of David Band.  I could give a full biography of David's work, but instead, I find this much more personal when carried out by the individual. For information on David Band's life, and work,  please see David Band  It's a wonderful site.

What I will say is that while I never met David Band myself, I feel such a connection to his work.  I think this feeling is universal, and people are instantly warmed, and delighted when looking at his art.  'Endless' is a word that comes to mind when thinking of David's work. It's so many things - not just uplifting or gorgeously beautiful, but it's layered, and tells a story. The curve of his lines, shapes, what he chose to leave in, and not reveal are all key to what makes the work so subline, and classic. A few favourites below - images from David Band   It's amazing how one person can touch so many, not ever having met. We will miss him.

Friday Finds - David Band

The favourite of the week for us is this glorious painting by David Band. I must live in a hole sometimes as I've only just discovered his work. Still, better late than never. At approx $16,000.00 this is not going to be hanging in my lounge any time soon... but I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I could. It's absolutely perfect. Titled "Still Life (Pink Block)" by David Band. You can see more of David's work here.  Have a great weekend everyone... :)
