In Gallery 1 & 2, Bruno David is please to present Here be Dragons: Below the Fold, Carmon Colangelo’s ninth solo exhibition with the gallery.
Here be Dragons: Below the Fold is an exhibition of monotype relief prints by Carmon Colangelo responding our current political environment and the precariousness of our contemporary condition in the age of social media. This series of work expands on Colangelo’s personal taxonomy of images and ongoing daily practice of mapping and recording ephemeral information to respond visually and physically to the notion of global connectivity and our networked communities. Derived from hand drawings and digital processes combined with chance operations, found materials and printing from discarded laser cut plates from architectural models, the result is a generative series of colorful, haptic and playful works intended to express ideas about the anxieties, fears, and instability experienced around the world. The phrase Here be Dragons, first appeared on the Lenox globe in 1510 as a marker for dangerous and uncharted waters ahead. In conjunction with the exhibition, Bruno David Gallery Publications will publish a catalogue of the artist’s work with an exhibition history and bibliography.
Carmon Colangelo is a pioneering printmaker whose work combines surrealism and abstraction with the exploration of art history, science, and technology. His imagery presents a playful odyssey that references the meta-narratives of art history and is contingent on the juxtaposition of utopian ideals of modernism with the aesthetics of surrealism and conceptual art. An enduring feature of Colangelo's work is the unraveling of free-floating symbols and texts in an aggressive exploitation of various print media. He challenges conventional readings, producing disorienting spatial topologies and striking visual poetics. His images may swing from the obsessively personal to the openly topical, allowing disparate formal structures and semiotics to inspire the production of remarkable forms that are somehow freed from the preceding visual context and grammar.
Carmon Colangelo (b. Toronto, Canada) lives and works in St. Louis, MO. He is the Ralph J. Nagel dean of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts and the E. Desmond Lee Professor for Collaboration in the Arts, Washington University in St. Louis. In this role, he oversees the School’s four academic units — the College of Art, College of Architecture, Graduate School of Art, and Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design — as well as the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. Colangelo’s work has been featured in 30 solo shows and more than 100 group exhibitions nationally and internationally. His work has been collected by many of the nation’s leading museums, including the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, and the Saint Louis Art Museum. He earned a B.F.A. in printmaking and painting from the University of Windsor in Ontario (1981) and a M.F.A. in printmaking from Louisiana State University (1983).
In Gallery 3, Bruno David is please to present Pilferage, Jacob Laws’s first curated exhibition with the gallery.
Pilferage is an innovative view of the merging of art with design, featuring the works of a wide range of artists represented by the gallery. Jacob Laws’ unique vision brings a connection between separate aesthetics in a collaboration that could otherwise seem like a collection of misfit pieces; instead, a transformation of space into a creation of wonder, fluidity and enlightenment. This success lies in connecting components and the space they inhabit in such a way as to create a growing, ever-evolving bond between design, individual, and art.
Jacob Laws was raised and resides in St. Louis. Laws’ style prowess isn’t contained and focused on one medium. With an understanding that his experience and education in the arts has brought him to where he is now in his career, his passion was realized and he found his niche within the creative world as Senior Interior Designer for seven years before launching his own brand, Jacob Laws Interior Design.
In Gallery 4, Bruno David is please to present On the Move, Yvette Drury Dubinsky’s fouth solo exhibition with the gallery.
Dubinsky is known for her innovative combinations of drawing, print, alternative photography, and found objects. In her latest series of prints, Dubinsky meditates on the change and destruction occurring now in Syria, a place where she traveled just before the beginning of the ongoing civil war, and where she is still in contact with friends. She makes collages and installations, skillfully integrating works on paper using a round format, with silhouettes’ figures within a map, and a sociopolitical relevance. Her artwork draws on her observations about the ongoing refugee’s displacement around the world. In conjunction with the exhibition, Bruno David Gallery Publications will publish a catalogue of the artist’s work with an exhibition history and bibliography.
Yvette Drury Dubinsky (b. Chicago) lives and works between St. Louis, MO, and Truro, MA. She studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, before attending Washington University in St. Louis (now the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts), where she received a B.A., M.A., and M.F.A. In 2006 she had a residency at the Cité des Arts in Paris, where she also had a solo exhibition. Since 1989 she has had more than 20 solo exhibitions and has been a part of many group shows in New York, Chicago, Provincetown and Wellfleet, MA, St. Louis, Tucson, San Francisco, and Norway. Dubinsky’s work can be found in many public and private collections including the St. Louis Art Museum, The Margaret Harwell Art Museum, The Buhl Collection, and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. She has been a part of the Art in Embassies Program of the U.S. State Department.
In Gallery 5, Bruno David is please to present Ondine, Frank Schwaiger’s fouth solo exhibition with the gallery.
Frank Schwaiger is currently having a solo exhibition “Recent Works” at our second location – Bruno David Projects. The location in The Grove is open by appointment only.
Frank Schwaiger lives and works in St. Louis, MO.
His work has been widely exhibited. He is a graduate of the Washington University in St. Louis, School of Architecture (now the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts), and received his M.F.A. from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, where he worked with Buckminster Fuller.
