David Colosi: CORNER
DESCRIPTION
David Colosi, CORNER, ed. 1, 2024, 19″x13″, Puzzle
This is an offshoot from a developing series of drawings and paintings of soccer players from the NWSL, and female soccer players globally. The work will display as a puzzle but when purchased, it will be disassembled and put in a box. The new owner will have to put it back together – play the game to win. This is a 1/1 edition. It is signed and dated on the back. With each work in this series, I attend the game, take photographs, and create a drawing based on the selected drawings.
Value: $2,500
David Colosi was born in Fairport, NY. After starting his education in Fisheries and Wildlife, underperforming in both Chemistry and Zoology and finally misidentifying lobster sperm through a microscope, he decided to shift to a macro lens. He turned to the funnels of Art and Literature, practice and theory, and received a BA from SUNY Plattsburgh (1989), an MFA from CalArts (1991) and an MA from NYU (2006). After finishing graduate school in 1992 he fled from Los Angeles and moved to Valdez, Alaska for three months to process Salmon, then to Tokyo for two years to improve his English and finally settled in Brooklyn where he has continued to experiment with Three-Dimensional Literature since 1994.
