IN MEMORIAM -- DAVID LOFTON 1951 - 2023
David Lofton's artistic style emphasizes the interplay of color and light. His subject matter ranges from the Impressionistic grandeur of the urban and rural landscapes of Northern California and Central Louisiana to the intricate realism of his cluttered basement shelves. A number of suites have resulted: San Francisco cityscapes and Victorians, Sierra landscapes, rural Louisiana bridges and shacks, Northern California coastal scenes and vineyard studies, and still life studies of tools. The influence of the French Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, especially Van Gogh and Gaugin, can be seen in David Lofton's work. He also looks to Bay Area figurative artists David Park and Richard Diebenkorn for inspiration.
David spent his formative years in Redondo Beach, California and then Natchitoches, Louisana, before settling in San Francisco. He is survived by his wife Judy and two children, Rachel and Nathan, who are the subjects of many of his portraits. The artworks shown are only a fraction of David's legacy.
