The 3D Art of David Richardson

Born September 10, 1981, in Greeley Colorado, raised in Loveland Co, David began drawing and sculpting at a very young age. He was brought up in a home where art was highly accepted and his creative mind had free reign. He began creating creatures of the unknown and unseen while still in elementary school. Then, in high school, he started working in art studios around Loveland where he was immersed in all aspects of sculpture and the lost wax process. Since then, David has been published in Amazing Figure Modeler Magazine, Churn an art & music magazine, and featured on Keith Wigdor Presents Surrealism Now and has shown in many art exhibits. David's art is featured in both public and private collections throughout the USA, as well as England, Canada, Russia, Hong Kong, and Australia. His sculpture has even been recognized by the great and talented movie director, Guillermo Del Toro. Embracing life-death-rebirth, David's sculptures are very primordial in thought and have very powerful significance. David has dug down into his unconsciousness to unearth deep seeded emotions and thoughts, bringing them to the surface of his reality and giving them life and permanence on earth.

David has been a freelance artisan since graduating high school in 2000, working in all areas of art: sculpting, molding, casting, painting, design, metal fabrication, welding/chasing, and wood work. He has worked with some of the greatest sculptors of the 21st century: Kent Ullberg, Fritz White, Dan Ostermiller, Dan Glanz, Wayne Salge, and Randy Hand, just to name a few. He has helped create some of the biggest monuments seen here in America. David's business Creative Metal Works LLC opened in 2005 and is still running full force.
 

Artist Statement:

I am bound to existence by earth
As a child I played in the dirt, covered in grass stains
Cold hard earth turned to clay
Dirt is alive
A life force to those who can "dig it"
Who is in control?
Me or the clay?
We mold and create each other
My hands are the tools to this trade
