My Amazon link is here for my second book.
Artist Statement:
Vancil is a multidisciplinary artist with roots and inspirations from the melting pot of culture and art, Chicago. He utilizes many forms from sculpture to photography. His photography is predominantly portraiture from Chicago and Japan’s countryside and city scenes. His photographs are all done in rich layers of black and white tones. He imbues his unique perspective through the malleability of words and creative writing in the two books he has authored. Social justice and personal political engagement flow unobtrusively and pointedly through his written words particularly in his commentary on The United States Penal system in his book Martyr of the American Night. He utilizes collage and multimedia throughout many of his works.
David’s ritualistic creative process starts with the end in mind first as an unfocused malleable image allowing his creativity to manifest in a style that is unique to his diverse multicultural background as a white skinned Mexican American with Irish, Polish, French, and Dutch roots. Texture, light, line, and color are used in his works showing dexterity and adaptability. Always seeking inspiration and awe, David finds expression through the arts paramount. “I make things to say without words, to cause an emotion to stir like smoke dancing in the sunlight.”
My bio:
David William Vancil is the author of Martyr of the American Night and Who’s Your Bartender? He is the recipient of the Vivian Steward Award for his writing. David has been published in the Prairie Light Review for his photography and Point of View for his writing. He received a scholarship from the Cook County College Teachers Union. David was born in the frozen belly of a shady city called Chicago and has wandered extensively throughout Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, and the United States. He weaves those travel experiences into the pages of his books. At a neck breaking pace, he takes us hypnotically into intimate places. You can smell the sweet scents of rain drip dropping on Plumeria flowers and lovers rhythmically crashing into one another like waves caressing the sea shore in his words. He slightly cracks open doors into exotic electric neon worlds for us to feel our heart pound and breath stop. For those that enjoy the minuet magical moments of excitement in the underground worlds of our societies David’s writings are waiting for you
