Dave Carbone

Dave Carbone (b. 1975) examines primitive instruments, such as the drum, whilst imbuing their surfaces with marks, which represent the modern day angst and the 'primitive' message of 'the sound', allowing noise to take form through expressionist marks somewhat derivative of early 19th century expressionist painting. Further three-dimensional pieces use hand stitching and paper to give them form, and lead them into mask and effigy territory.
