Thomasville artist David Junker has a wide variety of talents in his toolbox. Sketching, illustrating, painting, mixed media, and sculpture - to name just a few. However, he has become locally well-known for his work as a papier-mâché artist. His ability to sculpt a wildlife creature life-like enough to make you jump is quite impressive. He has the gift of looking at a challenge and accepting it, without ever having done it before. Challenged to recreate three of the Gee’s Bend quilts through paint, Junker took a realistic approach, including even the smallest details of stitches and folds in the quilt itself. An interesting fact is that Junker is colorblind and focuses on brightness, saturation, and contrast rather than on hue differences.
