Photography / Mixed Media

David Krovblit is a native of Toronto who now lives in California. His initial training was in photography, and before moving into fine art he was an award-winning commercial photographer. This background is reflected in his technique, which bridges old and new methods of collaging. Before cutting and pasting the images that are his raw material--in the same way as collage artists since the early twentieth century, whether Cubists, Dadaists, or Surrealists--he uses contemporary digital manipulation to scale and print them in the desired sizes. He then reverts back to an anaologe process to finsih them by cutting and pasting each piece by hand.
