Show Davis County Clipper FtiiLn, April 4 V)1)" page A 5 Montanaros work art from the original mind to be on display Cherie Huber Contributing Writer NORTH SALT LAKE David Montanaro is having a one man show of his art from the original mind" at Cup of Joe located at 353 West 200 South in Salt Lake City. The showing runs from April 1 through April 30 with a special reception on Sunday, April 6 from 6 p.m. The pieces on display, done in acrylic on paper, are just the latest phase of Montanaro' s 30 some of painting. This is years Montanaros first one man show. All the paintings are in gray mat and gray frames and hang on an unfinished concrete wall. The effect of all this is that the colors in the paintings glow and seem to be creating some kind of heat or life force of their own. Throughout the 30 years he has been painting, Montanaro says his usual pattern has been to paint for three or four years and then stop for some time before taking it up again. When the Montanaros first moved to Utah, he stopped painting for almost ten years. Now he feels he has entered his most prolific period. 4-- While Montanaro started off doing detailed and traditional work, he has become more contemporary while retaining some of the original details of many of his pieces. This winter Montanaro did a lot of painting on canvas but with the spring weather he brought out the d acrylics and a more style. Not only did he change his style but he changed his signature on the paintings too. The paintings he is now doing usually are produced as a series. It might start off as a chair and then it evolves. I might do a series of five chairs, Montanaro says. Some of the paintings on display have mouse holes. Tve painted some mouse holes throughout the 30 years of painting. I use some symbols to get my point across. People might ask what is the purpose of the mouse holes but it is like building your own vocabulary or lingo. Right now Montanaro draws all of the pictures in the series first and then goes back and paints the color in all the pictures. He says he does that to keep the consistency of thought. He often paints the last one in the series first. Often the first and the last painting in a series go light-hearte- around in a circle and come back to the beginning. It is an evolution from one point to another and it seems to evolve in groups of five. Color, too, seems to create symbolism over time. One question Montanaro seems to be asking is what is real. While one chair, for example might look real, another chair might be the real chair. "A picture might show one aspect in the material world but what is the force behind the chair. It might be different, he points out. In the series of paintings he might strip away the way the chair looks to get to the essence of the chair. He does the same thing with a series of faces, taking away details to find the real character. The drawings themselves have to be spontaneous, Montanaro says. You let it go. You dont anticipate things. After the drawing, the painting he says, is easy as he puts the vibrant colors in. But the drawing is hard. You have to let yourself go and not be inhibited. You have to have confidence that it will be a good piece of work.. After the drawing the actual painting is fun, almost meditative. You know its good. You like what you did. Montanaro also notes that there is often a ying and a yang, a harder and a softer side to each picture, a concept that mirrors life. One day we are soft and one day were hard. Im trying to figure out what I am and what life is, he says. But for a painting to be successful it also has to be enjoyable to look at. If the painting grabs you, you can sneak a message in and over a period of time you will read the message. It is a form of communication, he says. I dont want to give a personal message, what David Montanaro wants to say personally but the more essential things that we all feel. So for a long time I hesitated to show my work, he explained. Now I feel that I have wiped out a lot of personal stuff and I am moving to a common denominator. So I feel willing to show my work without embarrassment, hesitation or guilt. I am now trying to get to a point where I can define space, etc. I am not honing in on the technical skills. The mouse holes, for example could be the doorway into man's intense inner space.
