personality David Bromstad
(www.bromstad.com) will celebrate his first open-to-the-public art
exhibition, titled “Body, Money, Death,” at the
Z Ocean Hotel South
Beach on December 2 and 3, 2011 from 5:00pm – 8:00pm each day.
The exhibition is comprised of paintings and furniture installations
created by Bromstad this year at his South Florida studio. As
Bromstad explains, “The inspiration for the paintings and furniture
pieces in this exhibition are the three things that we worry about
most in life – our body, money and death. The imagery here reflects
on my own personal struggle with body and money issues, as well as
mortality, throughout my life.”
Bromstad promises an entertaining experience for attendees,
including fans who know him as the original HGTV Design Star and the
host of the Miami-based Color Splash series, as well as curious art
aficionados in town for the country’s biggest fine art event.
“Everything in this show has my sense of humor and my style, but I
also wanted to show another layer that viewers don’t always get to
see on HGTV. I want my fans, both old and new, to walk into this
exhibition and smile and be entertained. And maybe giggle a bit,”
Bromstad says. A private, invite-only event will be held on December 1 to share the
collection with media and VIPs. The event and exhibition are
sponsored by HGTV & HGTV Magazine, 1888 Mills, Penny Lane
Publishing, Planet Lighting, Tiffany’s, Murals Your Way,
Thirstystone, and Z Ocean Hotel South Beach. Proceeds from art sold
at the exhibition will benefit The Bakehouse Art Complex
(www.bacfl.org).
David Bromstad, host of HGTV's Color Splash,
is no ordinary designer. The original winner of HGTV Design Star,
who rejoined the show in 2011 as a contestant mentor, is known for
his endless energy and out-of-the-box thinking. Bromstad began his
career as a design student at the Ringling School of Art and Design
in Sarasota, Fla. Earnest, passionate, talented, and innovative,
Bromstad creates awe-inspiring works on many platforms, including
custom art, furniture building and interior design. Bromstad has
appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show & The Ellen Degeneres Show and
was featured in People magazine. He is also a Top Cop for the Us
Weekly Fashion Police. In 2010, he was named to the OUT Magazine 100
list, and in 2011, David was given the HRC Visibility Award for
living an out and proud lifestyle. He has a line of art
reproductions available through Penny Lane Publishing, and his
bedding & bath line with global textile manufacturer 1888 Mills will
be available in 2012.
