Fridge gallery project

The Fridge Gallery Project,  switch to Snapshot or PAGES mode under Home for best view, top left pull down menu

Kitchens are comfortable meeting places. My fridge like many others is tattooed with reminders, postcards, telephone numbers, coupons, motivational magnets and of course, art. If it's important you'll probably find it there. Would you trust someone with nothing on their fridge I ask?

If my drawing is temporarily exhitbited, especially on a fridge door, thank you

The Object of this Project,

TO stimulate conversations, be a curiosity, or take you back to a moment. By drawing you, I

took a risk.

My name is David Knighton. I found there is nothing more challenging or interesting than the faces of those around me. My drawings are made on the spot, quickly and spontaneously -- my subjects are unposed and initially unaware that I'm committing my impression of them to newsprint. With heads in constant motion, talking, laughing, drinking, often my drawings take on a life their own and are rarely photographically realistic.

In case you were wondering if I was really drawing the person
behind you, or if your nose is really that big, I have to say the Sharpie is an unforgiving tool! Still, I
chose the Sharpie for precisely its boldness. Like words spoken, lines drawn with a Sharpie cannot
be taken back and those lines are often the catalyst for conversation, an opportunity to share a story
with the person behind the face.

Please send me a picture of your
own fridge gallery. Email a jpeg to: knightonart@gmail.com. Art acquires more relevance and context when you know the stories and the person behind it. This collection may become a catalyst for a future exhibition,

I look forward to hearing from you!!
