David Herbert has such a strange and beautiful way of playing with material, form and imagery within his works. They reveal a kind of innocently childish love for the imagery of a boyish youth–star trek maquettes, space ships, odd automobiles, and copious “Disneyland” references– as well as an adult understanding of the architecture and connotations behind them.

I render iconic scenes and images from films, books, music, art and nature with my quick and rough style sculpting. My work is built from impoverished materials (scrap wood, cardboard, leftover house paint, etc.) which reinforce this hand made style of building. By recreating, restating, and juxtaposing I learn about the far reaching significance of objects, images, and actions.

David Herbert est un sculpteur qui aime jouer autour des grands thèmes de la pop-culture US. Ce qui tombe bien, vu que ses thèmes sont parfois très geek ! Je vous laisse admirer son “Monarch” alien dans son rocking chair, ou son “Mystic Starchip”, sans oublier son monolithe VHS et ses “Dead Presidents Heads”, dont celle d’Optimus Prime… C’est joli, réalisé avec des matériaux très communs (aluminium, fil de fer…), plutôt marrant et très intéressant. Rendez-vous sur le site de David Herbert pour en savoir plus.

David Herbert is a sculptor who likes playing with icons of US pop culture. Which is quite good, because some of these icons are really geek ones ! Please admire his “Monarch” in his rocking-chair, his “Mystic Starship”, not to forget his VHS Monolith or his “Dead Presidents Head” including Optimus Prime’s one. His work is awesome, realized with cheap materials, and really fun and interesting.
