See the USA in a Chevrolet by Dave Newman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The license plate game, road-trip bingo, choruses of \u201cNinety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall\u201d and \u201cAre we there yet?\u201d \u2013 all are hallmarks of the great American road trip. Love \u2019em or hate \u2019em, road trips have been a staple of summer vacation since the dawn of the automobile era.<\/p>\n

Prescott artist Dave Newman has an affinity for nostalgia, and his mixed media collages are heavily influenced by the road and the automobile. License plates, road signs, hood ornaments, old gas pumps, advertisements \u2013 he scours junkyards, yard sales, swap meets and antique stores for these objects that evoke the fun and whimsical aspects of life and travel.<\/p>\n

Originally from Anaheim, Calif., Dave\u2019s original car art was the vehicles themselves. He customized cars, then took them cruising down the popular boulevards, and showed them at car shows. As for how he got into the collage work that is the staple of his work today, Newman says, \u201cI have always been a collector, even as a kid. But I had no idea it would ever turn out to be what I\u2019m doing now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Desert Outskirts by Dave Newman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is a strong connection between cars and art. Witness the wild popularity of Scottsdale\u2019s annual auction season each January. People collect cars like they collect art pieces, often because of the nostalgic feeling they get when owning a piece of automotive history. When you look at Newman\u2019s work, pieces\u00a0 like \u201cSee the USA in a Chevrolet,\u201d \u201cPower Fuel,\u201d \u201cDesert Outskirts,\u201d and \u201cRide, The Open Road,\u201d they inspire that same feeling. Newman explains phenomenon by saying, \u201cI think my work speaks to people because of the memories they have of road trips and their childhoods. And because everything made from the \u201940s to the \u201960s \u2013 from cars to toasters \u2013 was just plain cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

A self-proclaimed \u201ccar guy,\u201d Dave has a 1955 Ford Fairlane, and owned a 1977 Chevy pickup truck that he collaged and painted. His first car was a 1963 Ford Falcon that he purchased when he was 15 years old. \u201cIt was parked on the street, and didn\u2019t even have a \u2018For Sale\u2019 sign on it. I went to the door to ask if they would consider selling it, and $35 later, it was mine,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI couldn\u2019t even drive it home. Although, I did sneak it out once in awhile before I turned 16.\u201d<\/p>\n

To own a snapshot of Newman\u2019s brand of nostalgia, you can visit the Newman Gallery in Prescott during your own family road trip to escape the heat this summer. In Scottsdale, he is represented by Xanadu Gallery<\/a> in Old Town.<\/p>\n
