Welcome to the web site of painter, sculptor and musician

DAVID TOBEY

          Thank you for visiting my web site. This first page shows examples of paintings and welded steel sculpture that I've done in the past year or so; and links at the bottom of each page will take you to examples of some of my earlier work, a brief bio, some of my thoughts on art, a couple of reviews, and some other information that I hope you'll find interesting.
          You can follow the suggestions offered at the bottom of each page in exploring this site, or feel free to go to any of the other pages in the Navigation section at the bottom of each page on your own. Clicking on any of the paintings or on the titles opens a screen with (some) larger images. Then, to return, just use your browser's "back" button and you'll be brought back to this original screen. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email me.

RECENT PAINTINGS

      "As with most artists today, I am very aware of the formal plastic elements in art. I have developed many aesthetic consistencies in my work even when at times it may seem diverse. But my art is always tied to expression. A common artistic thread in my work shows my interest in color, curved space, balance, rhythm, and movement. Ultimately, a painting or sculpture is only finished when all if its elements and relationships work to such an extent that it lives to the viewer.

       "My work here has not so much to do with evolution, but with expansion and development of who I am as a person and an artist. That's why my last exhibition in New York was called "Driving Force" -- The force of who I am and what I want to be."
