526 W 26th St David Opdyke Achievements |  David Opdyke Delivery |
Primarily known for his sculpture this is David Opdyke’s first exhibition devoted solely to his drawings. Opdyke has a long standing dedication to drawing, working primarily in pen on paper. The images in his drawings are developed from a complex network of crosshatched marks rendering stark and captivating realities. Opdyke invents darkly amusing socio-architectural images, structures and conduits, wrapped in political innuendo— it is a cause and effect circulatory apparatus that hints at a cultural critique of compulsive consumerism and the uncertain times of war mongering nationalism.
Opdyke writes that his goal is "to present scenarios whose formal intensity makes them believable and whose bullheaded complexity reveals…grandiose absurdities” David Opdyke has been showing at Roebling Hall Gallery since 1999.
This fall he will be included in a group exhibition at the Sherman Gallery at Boston University, titled “National Image,” and in an exhibition at Westport Art Center, curated by Richard Klein. In February 2007 he will have a room at the Addison Gallery in Andover in an exhibition called “Models as Muse.”
In 2004, he was the recipient of the Aldrich Emerging Artist Award which included a one person exhibition at the Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield, CT. Also in 2004 he made an installation at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington. He was included in Greater New York in 2005 at PS1, even though he didn’t graduate from Columbia’s BFA program. He was also included in “Brooklyn Art Today” at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
The David Opdyke drawing exhibition is organized in collaboration with Roebling Hall.
