Curious Worlds: The Art & Imagination of David Beck

2015, English. Directed by Olympia Stone.

An intimate portrait of the most accomplished American artist you've never heard of, working in a genre all his own.

David Beck's highly original, intricate, and kinetic artwork combines sculpture, painting, textiles, and mechanics on a scale that creates a genre all its own. Curious Worlds takes us into David Beck's magical universe, to watch as he creates minutely detailed and often humorous animals, people, and entire scenes that inspire profound wonder, delight, and awe. A skilled woodworker, sculptor, painter, and craftsman, Beck is recognized as a genuine American original. He is the only living artist to have had three solo exhibitions at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and his work is sought after by private art collectors across the country.
