Monster
Suspension is the draw in this Monster of a sculpture, with a bright reddish orange geometrical centerpiece hanging by cables connecting four tall blue poles. Its mysterious presence and perceived weightlessness suggests an otherworldly creature, phantom, or monster. At different angles, the geometric blocks transform the overall shape into ambiguous forms that toy with three […]
Silver Arc
Borrowing from the artist’s early work when he was based near San Francisco’s Hunters Point naval shipyard, “Silver Arc” inspires a classical feel despite its modern materials. Metal pipe parts form the connected arcs and coil overhead like a pair of sweeping wings, balanced on two slender metal legs. Akin to a Greek winged hero […]
Yellow Zinger
Two vibrant yellow rebar skeletons face off in this see-through display, each a tapering, segmented lattice that catches light and shadow in equal measure. Mirroring one another across the grass, they read like a matched pair of wings, fins, or open jaws caught mid-conversation. Somehow both simple and complex, Yellow Zinger brings a bright, geometric […]
Orange Dork
Intrigued by the shape, history, and large size of this old propane tank, Davingy spent days cleaning and preparing it for a fresh coat of paint and new, elevated life. Repainted in a fiery bright orange, the tank is capped with an old hay dragger blessed with a fresh coat of red paint. Figure-like with […]
Splattered Boulders
A towering trifecta of ominous orbs ranging in height and splattered in red and black, Splattered Boulders is made of fiberglass, foam, and old plastic water bottles, fused into pocked, organic surfaces that feel grown rather than built. It looks like something an insect might have created. Or potentially something more alien? This one truly […]
Orchard Duke
Ride the wave like the great Hawaiian surfing pioneer Duke Kahanamoku via Orchard Duke, a blending of the weathered soul of a surfboard with supporting rebar geometric shapes. Upcycled piping from a metalyard gives the vintage floating toy/tool a sturdy foundation. The contrasting combination creates a loud presence that announces itself in Davingy’s Orchard of […]
Surf and Burn
Part of Davingy’s Graveyard series, Surf & Burn is three distinct elements – one found, one made, one purchased – formed into a singular funky expression. From an upcycled fireplace to a color-rich surfboard, the focus is on the juxtaposition of stern, unforgiving cement and frivolous, floaty plaything. $15,000* installation not included
Purple and Blue Tripper
Purple & Blue Tripper is one of the first of Davingy’s “pod pieces” as it features a shape that the artist returns to again and again throughout his career. The body of the sculpture is angled on two metal legs, with the fiberglass pods bookending an open triangular form. All mounted to a central axle […]
Taking Out The Trash
Taking Out the Trash features tilted bright blue beams supporting four radiating arms, each ending in a salvaged trash can painted vivid red. The sculpture transforms discarded industrial objects into a bold composition of balance, motion, and color. Simultaneously playful and monumental, the work celebrates reinvention by turning refuse into vibrant art. $85,000* installation not […]
Purple Gothic
Purple Gothic is a faceted, cloud-like boulder weathered into a dusty plum color hovering above a salvaged Rococo mantelpiece. The two elements are improbably joined by a pair of cheerful gold rods. Davingy collides craggy geometric form, ornate carved stonework and candy-bright steel into a structure that’s part shrine, part architectural punchline. $7,500* installation not […]
