Art Saint Louis is pleased to showcase paintings by artist David Dolak at 1208 Washington Avenue.
"I am interested in doing and making. Painting and working with modular wood panels has led to an experimental approach to image making. This approach allows subjects of labor, image and the passing of time to be explored.
While the work is taking place, thoughts of faith, God, family, memory, life and death among others are contemplated. These thoughts serve as an impetus to create and a context with which to experiment with the subject matter.
The resulting panels are intended to be building blocks—individual time collectors that can be combined and broken apart until a final arrangement provides an honest testament to labor, a faithful interpretation of image and an extended record of time." - David Dolak
