Explore At Your Own Risk, a solo art exhibition by Modern Fossils opens on June 10 and will continue through July 10, 2021.

Modern Fossils, a duet of David Horowitz and Judith Marchand explores mankind's interaction with its natural environment. Just as natural fossils are the imprints of prehistoric life on earth, Judith and David works ponder the substances we are currently leaving behind in our environment, to be unearthed far in the future. The artists are inspired by the metal manhole and storm drain covers found in their local cities and towns and created original plaster artworks, which proclaim the truth that our waterways’ health is key to our community's existence and future. During clean-ups of local waterway environments, these artists collect both natural aggregate and man-made detritus, which they use to design the images in their pieces. The resulting wall-hangings embody the modern dilemma of mankind's struggle to maintain a balanced relationship with nature. Their artwork also proclaims the vital environmental message stressing the necessity of keeping our waterways clean and healthy.

Artist ( Description ): 

Environmental artist David Horowitz has worked as a gallery and commission artist, and as an architectural designer, since 2001. Presently he presides as Curator, Director and Artist in Residence of the new outdoor sculpture garden at Whittemore Community, Culture, and Conservation Center in Oldwick, NJ. David’s diverse, unique background in materials, techniques, processes, and disciplines ranges from: restoring and conserving historic architectural ornamental plaster; wood carving; mural painting; gilding; decorative painting and finishing; showing as a gallery artist at Gale-Martin Fine Art Gallery (Chelsea NYC, 2002-2003); presiding as artist-in-residence, materials expert, and architectural designer for Rockwell Group, an international architectural firm in NYC (2005-2007); and creating permanent public art installations in private and corporate collections(1995-present). His public works include: a permanent 20 ft by 11 ft “Urban Fossil” sculpture of plaster and found objects in the public lobby of 95 Morton St in NYC, four 10 ft by 38 inch diameter sculptural tree carvings as permanent installations in the public lobby of The River house in Battery Park NYC, and metal patina twists creating a12’ high wave pattern throughout the lobby of The River house. In 2015, when the Starbucks at 25 Union Square West in NYC selected David to represent NYC artists, he created a 25 ft by 8 ft “Urban Fossil” Wall Sculpture for their common space. At Natirar / Ninety Acres (a multi-facility restaurant, spa, and private club in Peapack-Gladstone NJ), David has produced14 hand-carved, large-scale wood sculpture pieces that can be seen throughout the 90 acre facility, both indoors and outdoors. David's work at Natirarcontinues throughout the present day. David was also owner / director of Terra Firma Studio, a fine art contracting company in NYC (1993–2005), and is currently owner of DPH Studios Inc., a custom woodworking studio in Frenchtown, NJ (2007-present).

Judith Marchand has been a resident of the Delaware River area for over13 years. Her love for the river drives her passion for canoeing, kayaking, running on the tow path, and hiking the region's many trails. Her deep desire top reserve the pristine beauty of the river and its environment has found expression through her artwork. Each original piece highlights the importance of the interwoven circle that must exist in every thriving river town: that of the River sustaining the Community and the Community preserving the River. 

Judith and David have been collaborating since November 2016. They have produced several commercial commissions together including: 10 plaster fresco murals for Joie Clothing Boutique, which are installed in retail stores across the country (from Madison Avenue in NYC to Santa Monica CA), as well as a 500 square foot “Urban Fossil” (a cement and plaster installation) for Current/Elliott Flagship Fashion Boutique on Fill more Street in San Francisco CA. These collaborative works led to their current, award-winning “Modern Fossil” series. Together, Judith and David have exhibited in numerous solo and group shows, received several awards, been guest lecturers, and amassed a large following of loyal Modern Fossils fans.
