The Shadow Meets David Regan

Now recovering from the excitement of One Night Stand, The Shadow visited Otis Lounge in downtown San Francisco to view the artwork of artist David Regan.

David does lots of scenery using tons of colors and that just fit very well together.

David describes his work as follows:

Having spent most of my life in an urban to sub-urban environment I have a deep appreciation of nature and it is at the core of my inspiration as a painter. Throughout the bodies of work that I have developed there is a consistency in trying to capture that ineffable, emotional response one has while feeling connected to his or her environment. This connection, I feel, cannot be captured through realistic interpretation but rather through emulating the cycles, struggles, and harmonious conflicts ever present in the natural world through paint and composition.
