Meet David Mew

David is an American artist specializing in Geo-Surrealistic landscapes. He works with ethereal forms to create his dream-like, metaphysical worlds. Abstracted elements of sacred geometry, labyrinths, and mandalas appear in most of David's work, guided by his interest in using them as metaphoric constructs to interpret and understand his surroundings.

His work is reflective of his passion for exploring the intersection of geometry, patterns, and color theory in art, informing both his process and body of work. There is an intrinsic beauty underlying the simplicity and order of geometric relationships. As someone who is adept at recognizing both physical and intangible patterns in his life, he finds it interesting to use symmetrical patterns that are repeating or aperiodic to imbue wonder and intrigue into his work. His work also incorporates intuitive color selections that are chosen to evoke specific emotions and emphasize certain geometric aspects.

David is drawn to expressing the possibility of movement and change. His process often begins with a basic geometric form or motif, then playing with scale and repetition, and later merging them to develop his evocative compositions. He will subtly alter geometric elements or add color variations to break repeating patterns and for visual effect. These alterations are purposefully obvious, recognized only incrementally, or often go unnoticed, symbolic of the wide range of perceiving change. David is intrigued by movement and change that occur incrementally.

Just as they occur in our relationships and in life, within patterns, there is meaning. Using and understanding patterns help make sense of the world. And by breaking or changing patterns, movement and change are possible.
