Atom Studio + Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition of work by Quad City's David Zahn. Zahn's poetic sculptures and drawing weave together narratives left to be discovered by the viewer. The construction of both mediums release the images in a timeless form fused with the play of light across the forms. "This work embodies the skill of a patient artist that pushes his material to the edge and we, the audience are the recipients of a visual journey," says Pat Bereskin director of the gallery. Moline High School's drawing and painting teacher Zahn has work that is nationally known and collected publicly and privately.
The Chicago area native has always had a strong interest in art. Influenced by his high school mentor and teacher he decided to major in Art. His further studies at the American Academy of Art and Art Institute in Chicago, with a focus on figurative sculpture and bronze casting, grounded him in the strong base of skill that still serves him today. At the age of 25 he received his degree in art and education at Northeaster Illinois University.
This exhibition will be on display beginning the evening of February 27th from 6 to 9 at the gallery in Bucktown Center for the Arts, located at 225 E. 2nd St. in Davenport. The public is invited. Zahn's work will be featured through March 21st, in addition to the original artwork by the studio/gallery stable of local artesian.
