CANDÉ-SUR-BEUVRON
David MISHKIN, an American artist residing in France, is renowned for his CORK ART. A
member of France's Maison des Artistes (professional artist’s guild) his abstract and Geoform.collages and imagery are considered an element of French Patrimony.
His cork collages - certain requiring a year's work - are multidimensional. Functionally, they serve as screens, dividing reception from dinning areas, as reception area art, and as remarkable decoration for dining rooms, wine cellars and even spiral stairwells.
The artist's completed works are meticulously photographed, resulting in perfectly focused, high density images. These became the starting point of a new aesthetic, expressed in abstract geometric forms. Here, the exactitude of the original art is rewarded. Images are associated, joined, even layered invisibly their exact unassisted matching assured.
The artist uses techniques similar to computational architecture for the creation of internal surfaces of buildings (floors, walls, ceilings)..Such constructions are created in the exact sizes, ready for installation. Certain create visual space by their tridimensionnality.
Images are unlimited in their horizontal and vertical repetitions. Their compression and decompression visuals emit rhythms from static forms.
