Dominic Pangborn has been known in design circles for years for his colorful, graphic ties and scarves and his work in corporate design. But the artist Dominic Pangborn has transcended this definition and has moved solidly into the realm of fine art.
Like many other artists, including Peter Max and Alex Gockel, Pangborn’s style is influenced by his early years in visual communication. Drawing, which he still practices for hours each day, greatly impacts his work. Some of his most abstract imagery is populated with the bold shapes and colors frequently found in graphic communication.
Dominic Pangborn is insatiably curious—about communication, about media, about color, form and function—and this curiosity is reflected in his art. Dominic continuously experiments—with imagery, with media, even with material. Works range from two dimensional to relief to full three dimensional constructs. He may paint on canvas, glass, fiber board or any other substrate that piques his curiosity. His materials range from pencil to paint to fabric to industrial compounds, and his imagery ranges from ethereal to humorous.
Dominic’s natural curiosity drives him to endless experimentation, and a tour of his studio provides a glimpse into the rich and varied works that result. Dominic brings to his art a perspective borne of expertise in a broad range of visual media, and this influence is evident in the breadth and depth of his oeuvre.
