BIO
Dave Newman is an artist/illustrator/teacher who has worked for many years honing his skills and poking his creative finger into graphic design, documentary film, illustration & music video among other types of pie. In 2004, he graduated from Queensland College of Arts (BVA in Fine Art) and has gone on to invest his energies in the development of young artists. Dave is now focusing his attentions on his own creative process.
ARTIST STATEMENT
The allure of mythology, creation myths and the counter-play that exists between man and beast feed my ideas. This dialogue is played out in haunting, illustrative scenes, combining an exploration of the natural world with the cold precision of solid colour and clean line.
The digital medium helped satisfy my fascination with perspective and depth, in addition to providing an image quality unattainable to more traditional means. This said, my current trend is pulling me away from the screen but has not shifted from the desire to layer.
My work attempts to create modern myths; fragments of our world rewoven to tell new stories.
