Dave Baldwin’s objective in his painting and his writing is to entertain. If the viewer or reader of his work enjoys it, he figures it has been successful.
Baldwin began painting in the early 1960s as a result of studying scientific illustration under Donald B. Sayner at the University of Arizona. Through years of experimentation he developed a whimsical, sometimes satirical, kind of figurative abstraction. His paintings are built with alkyd, oil, and acrylic paints, with the addition of sand, metallic leaf, wax, glass, and various fabrics, all applied to a rigid support.
Baldwin’s solo and oligosynic exhibitions include:
• Gertrude G. White Gallery, Greenwich YWCA, Greenwich, CT (solo)
• Brownson Gallery, Manhattanville College, Purchase, NY (solo)
• Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, Thousand Oaks, CA (oligosynic)
• Grants Pass Museum of Art, Grants Pass, OR (solo)
• Dobbs University Center, Emory University, Atlanta, GA (solo)
• Sarratt Gallery, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN (solo)
• Randall Theatre, Utah Shakespearean Festival, Southern Utah University, Cedar City, UT (solo)
In addition, Baldwin’s work has been featured in Scientific American (May, 2000), Sports Illustrated (Aug. 12, 1996), and Graphic Review (Feb., 1996), and is included in the permanent collection of the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum, Cooperstown, NY. His painting, “Fugue for the Pepper Players”, was featured in Treasures of the Baseball Hall of Fame by John Thorn, Random House (1998).
Baldwin has a Ph.D. in genetics and an M.S. in systems engineering from the University of Arizona. He played professional baseball for sixteen years, pitching for the Washington Senators, Milwaukee Brewers, and Chicago White Sox in the 1960s and ‘70s. He has worked as a geneticist and an engineer, and he has taught at the Art Institute of California in San Diego.
In addition, he has authored two books. Snake Jazz is his baseball memoir published by Xlibris in 2008 and by Kindle in 2010. A collection of his poetry (published under the name of DGB Featherkile), Limbic Hurly-Burly: Poems of Humor and Paradox, was published by Kindle in 2010.
