David Stromeyer
David Stromeyer established his first studio on a 200 acre farm in northern Vermont in 1971 after studying sculpture and film making at Dartmouth College and UCLA. In the late 90's he and his wife Sarah established a winter base in Austin TX. They move seasonally enjoying the contrasting landscapes, climates, and urban and rural settings.
Much of David's work is inspired by the forms, gesture, relationships, and phenomena found in nature, music and dance. His sculptures have often been described as organic, fluid, up-lifting, optimistic, and playful. "Facetted Rock" is from a series of seven unique pieces inspired by a small Vermont field stone. This series explores the surface, form, and inner "spirit" of the rock, and expresses these features in an array of presentations. In this work David cast the stone in plaster, shaved the surface while retaining the basic form and built the final work in steel plate.
David enjoys working in the public arena creating visual surprise, urging interaction and discovery. Since the early 1980's, he has been invited to create site-specific artworks for municipal, university, and corporate facilities across the US. Additionally, his work can be found in private collections from New York to Los Angeles. Museums such as The National Museum of American Art and the National Building Museum own David's work. His sculpture has been covered by the "ABC Eevening News", "Newsweek" and the "New York Times" to name a few.
