PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – July 26, 2016 – Automotive Fine Arts Society (AFAS) member David Chapple will display his new sculpture tables and benches at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® on Sunday, Aug. 21, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. His pieces will be part of an exhibit sponsored by The Lincoln Motor Company on the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links in beautiful Pebble Beach, California.

Chapple is known for his hand-crafted sculptures, use of brilliant colors and surreal ambiance. His uniquely stylized art pieces on display at Pebble Beach, will highlight the Ferrari’s bold lines and dynamic design.

“The inspiration for my latest series is a culmination of several ideas and other sculptures that I’ve developed over the years,” said Chapple. “My goal is to create art that is stylized and also useful. My sculpture tables are the perfect blend of form and function that not only serve a purpose, but also stimulate great conversation.”

Chapple’s sculpture table entitled “Kickin”, is based on his passion for Ferrari and features the iconic prancing horse. This one-of-one original is hand-crafted out of high-density board and painted using bold colors that make the table stand out.

Chapple’s table “Need for Speed” depicts an iconic Ferrari F1 car. Consistent with his other sculptures, Chapple hand-cuts high-density board to create thrilling angles and bold colors that bring his artwork to life. Each section is sculpted and painted by hand. To add another layer of dimension, Chapple also uses a clear coat process to give his work a 3D effect.

“I had never painted an F1 car and thought that a race-themed table would be the perfect opportunity to create something dynamic that provokes movement,” said Chapple. “I’m always testing the boundaries of art to find a niche that no one else has fully explored. My F1 table is a perfect example of art that is bold and beautiful.”

In addition to his tables, Chapple will also display his latest custom bench, titled “Ferrari”. Featuring the iconic Ferrari 488, this one-of-one original is crafted out of solid wood supports that have been hand painted and sealed to deliver a truly electrifying look.
