Statement

Electric, colorful and glitzy are my first impressions when I think of my paintings. I’m intrigued by the view of a city when seen with an automobile’s perspective. Automobiles are an important part of my paintings as they are very important to America’s nostalgic culture.
Painting a stimulating street scene shows the colorful impact of how I see a city. My creative hunger for color is fed when I absorb the vivid scenes of a mighty metropolis. The power and energy generated is exhilarating. Viewers are pulled in and mesmerized as the painted images explode from the canvas.
Giving Jesus Christ credit for my creative gift is an important part of my everyday life and is also seen throughout my paintings. A majestic sunset, vibrant floral landscapes, or a scripture in a license plate show examples of ways I thank the Lord for my talent.
Let my perspective continue to stir you as it has me each time you view the colorful world of David Chapple.
