Art Questions
What are THE VISUAL ELEMENTS of ART:
Line (defines contours; most basic visual element).
Color [qualities of hue (red, blue, yellow, etc.), intensity (brightness
or saturation), and value (lightness or darkness) observed in colored pigment or light].
Light (used literally by sculptors, photographers and architects;
sometimes used for dramatic effect with dark shadows).
Texture (real or implied? rough or smooth?).
Space (is there a suggestion of depth on the flat surface?).
Perspective (scientific method for creating a three-dimensional illusion
on a two-dimensional surface).
Form (usually refers to the shape or structure of an object).
Proportion (refers to the relationship of the parts to the whole).
Composition (the arrangement or organization of the visual elements;
compositions can be symmetrical, pyramidal, heraldic, etc.).
Art strives for form and hopes for the illusion of beauty. Art isn't just about making
things, it's about developing ideas, which can inspire beyond mere aesthetics, as light
gets filtered, then fixed, into one's brain sensors. The fact that our eye can perceive so
many different kinds of things is something that I get a lot of inspiration from as I seek
the aesthetic elements present in space, light and mind. The space of the imagination, and
creativity of form, just needs the touch of an artist to inspire the viewer.
I attempt to make something that engages with people even though it's quite static.
They have to visually navigate it from a variety of angles to fully appreciate it . They
respond to my art viscerally, because the level of representation is just light and the
contrasting lines. I get the sense that a lot of people really enjoy the experiences
they've had in viewing my constructive art forms and firmly believe that creating art
invites the viewer into the art object itself, opening them up to the larger ideas invoked
by the piece.

David Rubello gets motivated by Relief Art forms: It was
Through my desire to achieve actual space relationships that I came to three-dimensional
constructure painting in 1980. The relief form, by it's very nature, allows the viewer to
experience the artist's work from different vantage points. Light falling on the form may
vary allowing the painted Constructure a renewal aspect relating to form and color. 
New Life Forms -1990 to present: In early 1990 I began
working on a photographic series entitled "New Life Forms". These black and
white photograms revealed the results of light interupted by form. The transitions of
black and white transparent values possess a mystery for me. I set out to capture the
ambient shadows and possible forms variations through the cameras eye and darkroom
techniques. Constructing abstract art forms in wood, metals,paper, fabrics holds my
attention to this day when transforming light into ever changing images.
