I am working under the direction of a company I call Artistic & Graphic Creations (A.G.C.), located in Catonsville, Maryland. A.G.C. is pleased to offer unique, individually designed abstract and traditional wall art, all having a 3-dimensional application applied, making it a real conversation piece. Metal sculpture and furniture are another of our exquisite creations, suited for both commercial and residential. I graduated in Visual Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Art from the University of Maryland Baltimore County in 1982 and have been working in the art field since.
i am a self taught metal smith with a custom goldsmith background. i have been a self employed artist working with many different types of metals for over 25 years. i enjoy working on custom projects the most as it keeps me challenged and keeps the creative juices flowing. i create a lot of wall sculptures as well as free standing sculptures. i also design pieces for the garden and landscaping projects.
During the mid-seventies David Knopp started working with plywood
as his medium. It was an accessible and inexpensive material to use in
the self-trained process of stack lamination. It became an expendable
resource to experiment with in creating forms.
As his work progressed he discovered the linear strata inherent in
the medium. Expressing movement with the "strata" became his aim.
Knopp creates flowing liquid lines that engage the senses as the eye
travels over the contours.
A lifetime Baltimore resident, Knopp attended Essex Community
