About the Artist
Dave Dunn holding one of his favorite pieces.Dave Dunn repurposes tools of industry such as bike gear mechanisms or auto parts to use in his “sea creature” sculpture series to symbolize the constant movement and change of the sea, the ebb and flow of the tides, and the sea creatures within.
He constructs imaginative primordial creatures out of anything that lands at his feet and fingertips…sometimes scrap metal, bicycle chains, nuts and bolts. Dave shuffles together unsuspecting material to breathe whimsical delight into his imagined creatures.
Studios of Key West Show
See the video of Dave Dunn’s “Gone Fishin”, a 17 piece exhibition of his works at the Studios of Key West for a second time during March, 2024.
With the Exhibition, Dave takes modern steel implements and repurposes them into a diverse mix of aquatic life that calls the ocean home. Mixed with a variety of bright colors and imbued with a dose of whimsy, these creations serve as a source of curiosity for the viewer to contemplate the fascinating and mysterious life these beings live.
