JANUARY 2010

Considering the technical and creative environment we work in, its no surprise that over 80% of Denbigh staff are visual artists as well as fine art technicians. 

While certainly not mandatory, artists tend to lend a certain special consideration to the handling and care of fine art objects.  Each of our specially trained fine art technicians, craters, and framers brings his or her own special talents to the Denbigh team, and we enjoy the supportive artistic working environment this creates.

Periodically over the next few months we will be highlighting some of our artist staff and introducing you to their work.

This month, we would like to present to you our longest standing Denbigh employee, Paul Ewert. Paul has been our primary crate-builder since 1996.

Paul writes: From 1979 to 2009 I have exhibited in numerous group shows, an array of regional art projects and several solo artist endeavors throughout North America and Europe.

Currently I am working in “serial imagery” - a type of repeated form or structure, shared equally by each work in a group of related works in the concept of macro structures.  These assemblages of symbols, shapes, forms and figures are apprehended in terms of relational order and of continuity.  Working in mediums of paints, plastics and wood, 3 dimensional objects are placed against 2 dimensional fields.  All units of these works are interchangeable; they are presented lineally and without a hierarchy of order.

Current works also include a series of abstract landscape paintings, the solo music recording project “In Guise of Pluck”, and the group project known as Blunderbuss. Paul Ewert, January 6, 2010

Many thanks to Paul for his valued contributions to Denbigh over the years.  There have been a great deal of projects that have benefited  from his creative skills. We look forward to working with him in the coming years.
