David King’s work explores his profound interest in the metaphysical – the underlying or fundamental interconnectedness of things.  In his abstract work, it is difficult to determine if the forms are to be read a microcosmic or macrocosmic; are we looking at a cell cluster or a planetary body?  His narrative pieces are created to be visually beautiful, intellectually stimulating, and sometimes humorous.  All of his collages are constructed in the traditional, cut-and-paste method and have an obsessive attention to detail.

David’s work has been shown in Europe and across the U.S., including venues such as Artist’s Space in New York, The Soap Factory in Minneapolis and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and The Lab in San Francisco.  He was recently an artist-in-residence at the San Francisco Dump, and he is also the recipient of an artist’s grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

Mark Faigenbaum uses materials such as brittle newsprint, vintage and antique illustrations, outdated technical drawings and other materials that reflect the passage of time.  He combines these assorted materials using layering, repetition and assemblage to create shapes and patterns that move beyond pure physical representation. Mark intends for his art to be a reminder of impermanence that all things pass. But in this passing we can still feel connected to a continuum and in this impermanent state there can still be order. He seeks to suggest the possibilities of this order and complexity while acknowledging the emotions present in decay and impermanence.

Mark’s work has been shown nationally and internationally. He has twice been an artist in residence at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. He was also a resident artist at San Francisco Recycling and Disposal.
