David Phelps An Internationally Collected Sculptor
Artist David Phelps is an internationally collected sculptor known for sculpting monumental contemporary figurative artwork in bronze and other materials. David Phelps also creates small and medium sized sculptures as unique pieces and in editions of bronze castings.
Mr. Phelps' art is represented in private and public collections around the world. One highly visible public art commission is the Desert Wildlife series permanently installed in Gate D of the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. The large scale installation depicts five giant desert animals native to the surrounding desert. The surface of each sculpture looks like dry cracked mud; evocative of the desert environment. Many of the sculptures (some call them statues) created by David Phelps appear to be partly submerged or emerging from the ground. This somewhat surreal aspect of the image invokes Phelps' early years on the Roberts Island farm in the California delta.
David Phelps is on the road on December 18, 2007 for the "One Wintry Night: 8th Annual Christmas with David Phelps" tour. The tour will feature songs from his new release, A David Phelps Christmas: One Wintry Night (Compare Prices). "Prelude: O Come O Come Emmanuel" could easily be done at any midnight mass successfully. "One King" with Sonya Isaacs has some of the most beautiful harmonies of the season. "Interlude: Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" is another favorite. David does his usual job of knocking your socks off with his vocals and this tune is just plain fun on top of it.
Word Records' artist David Phelps' highly-lauded first full-length solo DVD and live CD, Legacy of Love: David Phelps Live! recently received the RIAA's Gold Certification. This milestone achievement signifies album shipments exceeding 50,000 units throughout the United States. The two-disc video and audio set, which was recorded at the historic Alabama Theatre in front of a capacity crowd, features 15 favorites as well as behind-the-scenes interviews with Phelps' family, home footage, outtakes and more.
Celebrating Phelps’ Gold-selling Legacy of Love is (l-r) Tim Marshall, Sr. VP of Channel Marketing, Word Label Group; Jim Chaffee, manager; David Phelps; Mark Funderburg, President, Word Distribution; and Rod Riley, Sr. VP of Marketing, Word Label Group.
