Ford Forlano is the cooperative project between David Forlano and Steve Ford that should have never come to be. They met in Rome in 1984 where they studied art together and have openly admitted they have very opposing artistic styles. David focuses his energy on sizable vivid abstract paintings; while Steve’s body of work tackles the question of “How can I make a painting as an object, a fully integrated three-dimensional piece?”
Presently, they collaborate on works by sending projects back and forth between their Philadelphia and Santa Fe studios. Nature proves to be a huge inspiration for the two, their jewelry often echoes the shapes of flower buds or seed clusters. Their work is currently on view in galleries nationwide.
The work feels complete to us when the balance of elements—abstract and imagistic—comes into focus in some unusual way.
