Satan’s Apple…David Richardson

David Richardson calls himself a sculptor of the dark art and surrealism movement, and indeed, his sculpture is exemplary of the genre. Richardson is a metal work artisan, and runs a business doing freelance sculpture, where he has made some truly amazing pieces, such as a life-sized elephant and a buffalo that is running through the corner of a building. But his true passion seems to lie in creating menacing, melting effigies of demons, skeletons, werewolves and other monsters, who seem leap out at the viewer from their cold metal caskets. The detail and texture of his sculpture a sense of intense and rapid movement in some of his subjects, while in others it it more of a slow, deliberate stirring. His driftwood skulls are monstrously beautiful, and look like creatures from a planet rules by trees. Richardson also creates stunning jewelry, especially the collection he made specifically for a commissioned mural, where the dancing woman is actually wearing pieces of hand made sterling silver jewelry around her waist and head.
