David Marchwick

David was born (1963) and raised in Bozeman, Montana.

"My paintings often reflect an instant in life just before a storm or the moment of silence before a change in the environment. I paint the landscape from a grand perspective, at times almost abstract and balanced by the detail of the Renaissance painters". Initially, the paintings seem realistic and after extensive viewing become more abstract. Keeping with the natural environment and vast vistas, Marchwick's paintings could be termed "skyscapes". The northern latitude of Montana results in what has been named "Big Sky Country"; the atmo- sphere dwarfs even the tallest mountains. Marchwick captures this without losing the imposing nature of the topography. Like all good romantics, he manipulates the sky's natural lighting to create an emotional and spiritual mood.
