Reviews
"A brilliant piece of historical surrealism" – The Times Picayune
"One of the most notorious shots in Snowboarding history." – Snowboarder Magazine
"This imaginative artist takes landscape photography to new creative levels. The natural
world is simply a starting point for portraying his ideas about humanity, technology, and
the environment, while also finding bold new ways of photographic expression."
- Patrick Myers, National Park Service
Dave Rhodes / The Artist
It wasn’t until 2007 that Dave truly became an artist using his cell phone to create
abstract images that started to gain attention as art. Four years later, he has exhibited or
worked with NASA, US National Parks, Art Below (London), Voodoo Fest, CBS Outdoor,
Los Angeles Downtown Art Walk, Fuse TV, Snowboarder Magazine, Keds, and gained
press from Nylon Magazine, The Times Picayune, and more.
His "Duned" Series exhibited in Colorado for the US National parks over a span of nine
months and was seen by over 300,000 visitors. The series was then acquired by NASA
and shipped overnight to the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, to be hung in
time for the visiting Astronauts to see. The art was well received by NASA employees
and visitors while on display over the next year, and remains in NASA’s permanent
collection.
Living in New Orleans for the last two years and growing daily as an artist, Dave is
finding new avenues of expression using any and every kind of medium. Exciting new
displays of work are coming soon.
Dave Rhodes / The Entertainment Industry
Growing up in Los Angeles on film sets as a child, its no wonder that he fell into the
business. Notably, under the guidance of his cousin, producer Matthew Rhodes
(President of Mandalay Vision), In the beginning Dave helped longtime UTA agent April
Lim start Global Artists Agency as an executive assistant for several years. He also
worked as an executive assistant for his cousin, often traveling to major film festivals and
creating a pitch that was heard by the Vice President of Universal. After working with
Matt, Dave began a three year working relationship with Writer / Director, Marc Rocco. In
this time he would help develop and produce (Eddie Vedder’s “Guaranteed video for
Sean Penn’s “Into the Wild”), working with Michelle Anthony (former COO of Sony BMG)
and Kelly Curtis (Pearl Jam Management) to name a few.
