David Beckett (aka Bek or Bex,) is obsessed .......................... with colour, motion and balance.
Born at the end of the Baby Boom (1960) he grew up in Northern Ontario but often wished it had been Haight-Ashbury or England, as he has psychedelic sensibilities, kaleidoscopic vision and a hippie heart. Raised by heartbroken parents, he grew into a passion for the romantically unconventional and erratic. His dark sense of humour and morbid curiosity leads him to attempt the dissection of rainbows and souls. He is at odds with a god he no longer believes exists and prefers the conspiring company of the Great Mystery. And colors.............always with the pretty, over bright colors. Training in Sault College's Graphic Design program only encouraged his perverse use of the psychedelic palette. His passionate mood swims and stubborn opposition to authority are tempered and tamed by staring into the sun and inhaling the auras of full moons. You may find Bex attempting to hitch a ride to infinity on a light beam................................ |
