David Fullarton is a Scottish born, San Francisco based artist. He keeps notebooksfilled with scraps of paper, scribbled phrases, and other ephemera that heincorporates into his artwork. These elements represent the often overlookedstuff of daily life, which is the root of Fullarton’s inspiration. He seesbeauty in the ways people manage to find joy and meaning in the minutiae. Theartist paints vibrantly complex canvases whose elements jumble and mix togetherin a facsimile of modern life. Fullarton compliments these with smaller mixedmedia drawings on paper. These paper works are sometimes the genesis of thefinished paintings, but are more often stand-alone vignettes featuring forlorncharacters who find themselves in compromising situations.
