Dave Bagley is a self-taught artist who lives and
works in Toronto and whose drawing has developed
over time into a unique style. His work is inspired
by nature and personal geometric patterns derived
from deep within his mind. Insects, animals and
plants can all be found represented in repetitive
detail in his drawings. His use of the mandala
evolved as he became more fascinated by the
fractal mathematical structure throughout his artworks.
THE FRAGILE MIND:
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS
By Dave Bagley
Artist Statement
The design is a geometric pattern that is derived from deep within Dave's
mind. Each design is created intuitively, based on the mandala pattern that
begins at the centre of the drawing.
Each drawing is based on the moment
it is made and allows for the artist's innate creative style to emerge in the
process. He doesn't know in advance how each drawing will turn out, and
every viewer sees something different.
