What the Heart wants and the Heart needs can be found in Napoleoni’s work. Nostalgia, sorrow and moments that lift the soul are all there for the world to see and experience along with him. Vivid colors and captivating characters invite you into an emotional ride. Influences from some of this century’s greatest artists are hard tofind in his pieces, but are drenched deep in the fabric of what puts his painting together.
David Bryce draws with clay. In Bryce’s figurative sculpture and in his incised panels, he molds and marks the clay, creating sometimes serene, sometimes playful figures, suspended in an eternal moment of joy or contemplation. The pieces express a simple and familiar action- stirring a pot, offering a bowl, striking a note- but Bryce always imbues the movement with a feeling of stillness. With a calligraphic stroke, or the folds of ribbons of clay, he captures his robed figures at their daily tasks, and captures our hearts as well. His work makes us smile.
