STATEMENT

I make layered collage paintings, that create visual histories. My current work is rugged and blends areas of design with those of absolute chaos, wielding newspaper, paint, markers and spray paint. The editing process is about layering–adding and covering back up. My practice dances around with abstraction and figuration. I use exaggerated lines and color, developing art that is bold, physical and has an overall element of fun.

Dale Voelker is known for his layered abstract collage paintings. He graduated from California State University Northridge in 1989 with a Bachelors degree in Art and Design. He immediately jumped into working in the design world and then started his own design business in 1995 focusing on entertainment and non-profits. His art practice is about flexing that design muscle – balancing design with the love for fearless mark making. Recently Dale has created solo shows of his paintings and regularly participates in group shows throughout Southern California. His artwork is part of private collections from New York to Los Angeles, from Miami to Honolulu and Europe.
