David Barnett Mixed Media

American, b. 1933

David Barnett, an artist, collector, appraiser and gallerist has been passionate about art from the early age of five. David’s career as an art dealer began at age 19 when, as a fine arts student, he sponsored an exhibition of work by fellow student artists. In 1966, he opened his first gallery in a converted basement apartment at Wisconsin Avenue and 21st Street. In 1985, David moved his gallery from Wisconsin Avenue into the Old Button Mansion on State Street and has been active ever since. 

David’s talents for recognizing undervalued artists and for meeting the needs of art lovers, art collectors and artists have created a vibrant, flourishing gallery and collection of over 6,000 works of art. David was born and raised in Wisconsin. He has been painting in watercolors, acrylics and oil pastels as well as fine art photography. David has more than 10 different series he has developed over the years. They include Abstract, Surrealism, Morph Dog, Up North Birch Bark, Impressions of Mexico City, Southwest, Fireworks, Famous Artist Paying Homage and Garden Panorama. Influential artists include Vermeer, Miró, Kandinsky, Chagall, Nolde and Klee. David has been featured in many magazines, newspapers and public television programs regarding his beautiful gallery collection and knowledge and passion for fine art. David also has work in the permanent collection Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Arizona. In November 2005, he opened his second studio gallery in Hartland, Wisconsin.

"Miami Crypto-Man: Homage to Magritte" original mixed media by David Barnett
By David Barnett
Located in Milwaukee, WI
‘Miami Crypto-Man: Homage to Magritte’ is a mixed-media collage by the Milwaukee-based artist and gallerist David Barnett. In this artwork, Barnett brings references to René Magritte, the contemporary art world, and also technology and cryptocurrency. As Barnett describes: “This series was born out of my visit to Art Basel and the Miami Art fair in 2019 to which I wore this aqua-colored linen sport coat. Over the course of my five-day visit to the fairs, at least 50 people came to me and asked where I bought the sport coat. They all wanted to buy one! I was quite amused and flattered. I thought to myself that this should be the basis for a new art series called "the Miami Man." My plan was to purchase twenty-five or thirty sport coats, but upon my return to Milwaukee I discovered they were no longer available in the aqua color. As an alternative, we photographed the sport coat, front and back, and printed it in several sizes on archival watercolor paper as well as on canvas. The sizes range from only nine inches tall all the way to forty inches tall. “For this work from the series, I decided to add a Magritte-like element by using a sand dollar. In his paintings, Magritte often obscured the face of his figures with objects like apples. Here, however, I have done the same using a sand dollar. This sand dollar is the one that I dove for when I was on the gulf coast of Florida more than 40 years ago. I also added to the title "crypto" to this work because of the sand dollar, tying this very natural object to the new advent of cryptocurrency. So the official new title of the series is "Miami Crypto-Man." In addition, I added a vintage post card...
