What can we do when a painting is not working? When you become hopelessly lost? David will coach you in principles of image structure as you revisit, rework, and revive an existing painting or group of paintings of yours. He will share behind-the-scenes slides of his own experience getting lost and found on the way to works that were ultimately purchased by collectors. (Who never suspected that there were hidden disasters under the surface). This workshop will be a trail of breadcrumbs to lead your lost work back home.

dates: Jan 5, 7, 12, 14 (Tuesdays and Thursdays)

Slonim, David Michael

Drawing on visual childhood memories of works by Van Gogh, Picasso, and Calder, David Michael Slonim reaches simultaneously for the playful and spiritual through structured, improvisational abstraction. Born in Miami, FL (1966) and raised in New Jersey, Slonim received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design in 1988. For the next decade, he created images for advertising, editorial, and corporate clients including Wrigley’s Gum, Reader’s Digest, Sports Illustrated, IBM and T.G.I.Fridays. Turning to landscape painting in 1998, he continued studying artists like Diebenkorn, Mitchell and Rothko. His work naturally morphed toward abstraction as his focus shifted to the structure beneath the image. Slonim is also a prolific children’s author and illustrator, recognized for excellence by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Society of Illustrators. He speaks regularly to organizations and schools about creativity and life as a professional artist.
