Author: Salle, David
David Salle began painting his Tree of Life series in 2019. The motif of the tree reverberates throughout the history of art, and Salle identifies the tree as a form of collective experience, a lineage of which we are all a part. These compositions are structured around brightly coloured trees that simultaneously conceal and compose the scene unfolding behind them. This concise volume showcases these new paintings, the culmination of the celebrated Tree of Life series. Acting as a spine or an anchor, Salle's trees appear to condition the interactions of the characters on either side, held in place as they are by the branching structure. The characters are borrowed from Peter Arno’s mid-century illustrations for the New Yorker. David Salle is a painter, printmaker, photographer and stage designer.
ISBN 9782910055936. Thaddaeus Ropac. hb. 112 pages. 37 colour, 1 b/w ills. 27.9 x 24.1 cm.
