coarse reality... but it will
have a rustic quality and

grows--grows fruitful. The
chaos feeds it. Chaos feeds
the tree.

Gold Ring, 2005
The initial impression of David Geiser's paintings is their physical appearance, the palpability of the work. These pieces reveal their manual construction, the process that brought them into being. In contrast to the carefully calculated synthetic surfaces that are so prevalent at this time, they are tough, unruly pieces, crafted by hand.
