David Soukup's Bumblebee Sunrise is a feast of anachronisms - the most praiseworthy of visual jewels and the ones used far too carelessly in contemporary art today. In this instance, however, every jewel is placed correctly and with a sense of balance.The rotary phone, the signage, the building, and (most of all) the bewitching female with her gaze framed perfectly by styled hair - all of these elements combine into a periscope view of mid-60's to early 70's (Note: OUR assumption) and make the entirety a wonderful flight of line and color.

About the Artist
Location: Chicago
My approach is all about capturing details, and I believe the process of creating an image is just as important as the final product. I draw inspiration from the urban environment and have built a reputation for my intensely detailed urban landscapes. I began my career working as a spray paint stencil artist but have constantly found ways to evolve and adapt to new ideas and inspiration, as my work grows more complex and personal. Working with a variety of techniques, materials, and mediums, I find joy in by cutting my highly detailed drawings into fragile, waif-like stencils that translate into sophisticated images depicting urban lifestyle and setting. The final result is my interpretation of the world I see around me, which is an ever-changing balance of city life.
