David D’Alessandris, best known for his playfully energized use of color, takes the viewer in a dramatically different direction with his show, Black/White.
D’Alessandris notes, “For this presentation of my work, I wanted to showcase a part of my artistic journey other than brightly painted canvases. Black/White centers on pencil, pen, and charcoal drawings on Bristol paper, finished and wall-ready art, that also display the power of drawing--the bedrock of artistic creation.”
David keeps journals and sketchbooks in which he formulates his ideas and determines the direction he wants his art to take. “For me, working in black and white is fundamental to the process of putting together concepts, ideas, and establishing the direction of my art. Before I render in pigment, I first explore perspective, shadow and light, and form, both figurative and abstract.”
