David Barnett
'Buca di Beppo - Chocolate Demolition Derby' signed trial proof photograph

2003

About the Item

David Barnett's 'Buca di Beppo - Chocolate Demolition Derby' features a playful application of forced perspective. The photograph zooms-in on a yellow toy car mid drift atop a plate of chocolate sauce, recreating a demolition derby in miniature. Condiments, glasses, and a closed wine menu surround the plate, suggesting that the photograph was taken in a moment of levity after dinner. Speaking about the piece, Barnett explained that he had been dining at Buca di Beppo when he noticed a child playing with a toy car on his parents' plate of tiramisu, the sight reminding him of his teenage years spent attending demolition derbies with his peers. This print is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right, and features the inscription “Trial Proof” written in pencil in the lower left. Fine art photography giclée print 10 x 15 inches, photograph 17.25 x 21.375 inches, frame Signed and dated lower right "Trial Proof" written in lower left Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag mounting materials, and housed in an aged gold finish wood moulding.

  • 'Mother's Day Bouquet' signed giclée print on watercolor paper floral still-life
    By David Barnett
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    'Mother's Day Bouquet' is a giclée print on watercolor paper, signed by the artist in the lower right. Atop a checkered placemat rests a bouquet of flowers in a vase. Foregoing botanical realism, Barnett has opted instead to present a uniform floral profile, emphasizing how their colors work as an ensemble rather than foregrounding any distinct physiological differences. The composition’s flattened perspective also resembles the works of another painter of flowers—Henri Matisse—from whom Barnett draws inspiration. Giclée print on watercolor paper after original 2004 mixed media 7 x 5 in, print 13.25 x 10.75 in, frame Signed lower right Framed to conversation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag matting, UF5 plexiglass to inhibit fading, and housed in a gold finish wood moulding.
