VOLTA SHOW 2018
DAVID SHROBE
presented by Studio 301 NYC (Brooklyn)

David Shrobe is interested in a multilayered exchange of materiality, symbolism, and technique, where abstraction and figuration coexist and new portrayals emerge, presenting alternative representations that project empowerment and defiance towards prescribed systems of authority. His unique visual language combines painting, drawing, and collage, with found and reclaimed objects that often allude to domestic spaces.
I create spaces within which new forms and mixes become indigenized out of various materials reclaimed from environments I encounter. My work is interested in excavating history, and the flipping of tradition to create a multi-layered exchange that rejects the linearity of conventional ideas of temporality. Collapsing divisions between past, present, and future gives birth to fragmented portraits, counter narratives, and hybridized figures, who are not oriented to a specific time or place, but rather floating in a space of disquieting co-existence. The work responds to the tradition of classical portraiture challenging its singular historical narrative by presenting alternative representations through cutting up, re-positioning and then piecing together meaning from the histories that are inherent in the images and objects I recover.
What results is a cross pollination of drawing, painting, collage, and discarded domestic items, including flooring, furniture, mirror frames, molding, and doorknobs, to name a few. I am interested in how through my manipulation the material becomes in service to something new, and shifts from one identity to another. Using objects reclaimed from various sites, my neighborhood being one, is a way to map a personal journey, and respond to the specific evolving social landscape; creating a kind of field guide by which to navigate the communities in which I live and travel.
