While I was painting
for this show I sensed a higher level of emotion and intensity
than I had felt in the past. Completing each piece became a
stronger celebration of these senses than ever before. And
as I reviewed and critiqued my completed work I saw bolder
use of light and shadow, a more realistic representation of
the atmosphere I tried to capture, and a bit more detail with
the techniques I used on elements within each composition.
Wherever your imagination takes you if you view this work,
I hope it brings out in you a beautiful thought or happy moment
in your life as it did for me.

David
Mesite’s interest
in art began when he was in grammar school. He was the kid
who always won the art contests and had the most creative
student projects. Growing up in Connecticut, he attended Paier
College Of Art, where he studied fine art and illustration.
Upon graduation he pursued a career as an illustrator and an
art director. After almost twenty five years of corporate graphics,
David has redefined his lifelong passion for fine art, in his
studio in Cheshire Connecticut. He has a dramatic boldness
in
both his realistic painting style and the subject matter chosen
to capture. His unique ability for seeing the most interesting
visual aspects of ordinary situations has always inspired him
and is what he feels has contributed to his success as a painter. I
love looking at everything that goes on around me wherever
I am, with an obsession for seeing something that I can turn
into a painting. David spends as much time as he can
at a family place on the Cape, in Brewster, and it is there
where
he has found new inspirations for his recent watercolors.
Mesite
has exhibited throughout New England and, just as he did when
he was a kid, is still winning awards. His paintings are hanging
in homes and businesses throughout the country.
Artist's
Statement:
I
want to produce art that pleases me for many personal reasons.
Then, if it pleases the viewer, I’m
glad. I’ve
always had a fascination for art. I attended art school at
age eighteen and haven’t regretted one day since.
My family have always been very supportive of my career
as well as being my best critics.

“It is very difficult to accurately convey to
other collectors the talent of David Mesite... Part Andrew
Wyeth, part the late Garry Gilmartin and, yes, even a hint
of JMW Turner’s treatment of Lake Lucerne in “The Blue Rigi,
Sunrise.” The translucence and opaqueness that Mesite can display
is what makes his complexity so enjoyable. With oils, the painter
gets to come back to re-work his initial efforts, perhaps several
times. But with watercolors, it is a direct translation from
the artist’s mind to the paper. It is, in golfer parlance,
one swing for the green on a par-3 hole and no mulligans!”
— David
Matthews, A Dallas, Texas Collector |
