| ARTIST PROFILE David Limrite BY JEFF AL-MASHAT M ysterious, dramatic, dark, and edgy are all words that artist David Limrite uses when talking about his own drawings. “Inviting” is not likely the next natural word one would expect after hearing the artist’s description. But inviting is exactly what these gestural figures—made with the most basic drawing tools, like charcoal and graphite—are. They are invitations for us to not only recognize our internal conflicts, but spend some time and explore them a little. The figures are drawn with volatile motion and vigorous energy. At the same time, there is a constant tension, as the figures seem trapped by other marks and lines on the paper. The sense that the figures want to break free suggests that Limrite is telling the viewer that it is okay to have, and even enjoy, and maybe even show the world, a darker side of ourselves. “I am really interested in what I call the drama of vulnerability,” says Limrite. “I am fascinated by this idea that we are always at a crossroads, and one decision can alter an entire life.” Jim Dine, Edvard Munch, and Auguste Rodin are influences of Limrite’s, all of which make perfect sense. But the stark difference that Limrite brings with his work is the ability to connect on a very basic level with the viewer. He eliminates any question of distance and instead asks the viewer to come along on the journey with him. The reckoning between the ghostly figures in his drawings and Limrite’s ability to connect so easily with his viewer is evident in the man himself. Limrite is quite accomplished, with a rich body of work as well as an impressive resume. He is disciplined in his craft, but he is also an incredibly affable fellow who loves to teach and talk with anybody about art. These days, without the ability to connect with students in the classroom, he has taken to giving critiques online and is in the process JEFF AL-MASHAT is a of writing a book about what writer and visual artist with an MFA in painting from he calls “mind management,” Georgia State University. He which he defines as the ups and lives in Grover Beach. downs of being a creator. SLO LIFE 46 | SLO LIFE MAGAZINE | OCT/NOV 2020
