DAVID SHWIMMER (EXPERIMENT 003)
When I was painting the ‘Experiment’ pieces, the memories from when I used to draw and design cars, planes and vessels as a child sat prominently in my mind. To anyone that knew me when I was younger know I was mildly obsessed with drawing cars in particular.
Creating these animals was a real design process. I felt it was imperative to create creatures that were balanced, and ergonomically equipped for two of three terrains that animals can roam (land, sky and water).
The shark really encompasses power and when mixed with the flamingo, the sharpness that comes with power is muted and softened to become a more manageable personality to handle; The shark becomes less aggressive, and more 'serene’.
P.S I will have a look to see if I can find some of my old car designs !!
