David Roth

     
                 
           
                 
           

Roth's conversation regarding his art is one of balance found between the opposing elements of formal aesthetics of high modernism. The layered meaning in these forms are not labored to be art-drunk-didactic-drivel but rather hard worked, leaning towards an expression that tries to say little to nothing. Roth explores the elements of the material itself and by being a good listener, he allows room for the process and language of the wood grain to infuse life to the work. The construction of these beautifully crafted wall reliefs and their clean lines leave no room to miss the point of his subtlety.
