David Carmichael

Stone Sculpture

The moment David first touched chisel to stone he experienced the connection as instantaneous and profound.   It was one of those luminous moments that is most often associated with love, or a spiritual awakening or even divine madness.  Reason and ego are bypassed and a journey begins.  That initial connection constantly evolves and deepens as an interplay between the forms and energies inherent in the stone and David’s own internal process of discovery and the ineffable mysteries of life that bind them.  The resulting creation, the sculpture, has a depth and spirit of its own.  David works the stone to give shape to his thoughts while the stone, in turn, inspires his thoughts and guides his hand and eye.  His recent gallery appearances include: BERGAMOT STATION, JAMES GRAY GALLERY, SANTA MONICA, CA 2009 - MODERN ART GALLERY, WILSHIRE BOULEVARD, LOS ANGELES, CA 2009 - BLUE BIRD ART GALLERY, BRIGHT AVENUE, WHITTIER, CA 2009 - TAG GALLERY, SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD, SANTA MONICA, CA 2009 - ORLANDO GALLERY, VENTURA BOULEVARD, TARZANA, CA 2008 - VERVE GALLERY, LA BREA, LOS ANGELES, CA 2008 - VIVA GALLERY, ENCINO, CA 2008
