1. Choral, 2002 Acrylic on canvas, 30x40

"David Tobey is both a professional musician and painter. As such, his works explore the synaesthetic relationship between abstraction and music, the connection between linear and musical rhythms. Music has always played a major role in his outlook and life and artistic inspiration."

10. Rite of Spring, 2003 Oil on canvas, 24 x 36

2. Portal, 2003 Oil on canvas, 24 x 24

4.Birth of Fire, 2003 Oil on Canvas 24 x 48

"Tobey's paintings and sculptures are highly energetic abstractions which incorporate lines and shapes into an autonomous and rhythmical, but also clearly structured whole. The apparent spontaneity of compositional handling is the result of intensive labor and continual reworking."

12. Soundings, 2003 Oil & acrylic on canvas, 44 x 60

8. Labyrinth, 2002 Acrylic on Canvas, 16 x 20

"The result of both brushwork and pouring technique, Tobey's paintings fuse abstract expressionist and surrealist imagery, in which brilliant colors assert themselves with forceful yet lyrical intensity. The linear and color arrangements suggest a fluid movement, in which every subtle turn or twist translates into a personal narrative."
