David Fedeli

Art Brokerage: David Fedeli American Artist: b. 1959. Largely a self-taught artist, David demonstrated natural artistic abilities at a very young age, having his sketches publicly displayed from the early age of 10. He studied Graphic Arts & Fine Arts at 3 Colleges in San Diego in the early 80's while working as a Graphic Designer. Discontent with the slow pace of the classroom, he abandoned school and continued working in the Graphic Arts industry. During the next 15 years he focused on developing his technical skills and worked successfully as a free-lance designer while also managing a few local printing companies. Throughout this period, his artwork took on many forms, as he was striving to find the right outlet for his creativity. In 2000, Fedeli met and became friends with Robert Watson, an American artist with an international reputation. Recognizing his abilities, Robert Watson took him under wing, and provided David with the direction and focus he had been seeking for so long. David studied with artist Robert Watson for 4 years, until his passing. He reflects that during this time, he learned more about the world of art, both the mental aspect and physical skills, than he had learned in all his years of school. Watson's unconventional approach to teaching struck a chord with David, and the results were immediate. David Fedeli's style reflects what he learned, falling into the category of surrealism and neo-romanticism. In his most recent series he pays homage to mentor artist, Robert Watson. Listings wanted.
