- David_Esterly abstract "David Esterly (born 10 May 1944) is an American limewood carver and writer known as an exponent of the high relief naturalistic style of the British carver Grinling Gibbons (1648 -1721).Esterly was born in Akron, Ohio but raised in Orange County, California. He received a BA from Harvard and a BA and Ph.D. from Cambridge, where he read English and was a Fulbright Scholar. His doctoral dissertation was on Yeats and Plotinus.He had rejected the idea of an academic career even before a conversion experience in 1974, when the sight of a Grinling Gibbons carving in a London church turned him towards woodcarving. Esterly retreated to a cottage in Sussex where he taught himself to carve in the high-relief illusionistic style of Gibbons.After the 1986 fire at Hampton Court he spent a year re-carving the seven foot long Gibbons drop destroyed in the flames. The experience inspired his memoir The Lost Carving: A Journey to the Heart of Making (2012). In 1998 he curated the Grinling Gibbons exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, which was named as one of the exhibitions of the year by the art journal Apollo. His accompanying book, Grinling Gibbons and the Art of Carving (fifth printing, March 2013), was described as “a marvelous study” that has “a rare intimacy with its subject."Esterly’s own carving began as decorative foliage work but developed in the direction of still life sculpture, trophy-like tableaus, and botanical heads in the manner of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, which he began carving in 2002 while a guest artist at the American Academy in Rome. He works on commission for patrons in the United States, Britain, and Europe. Retrospective exhibitions are planned for 2013 in New York City and at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Art Institute in Utica, NY.Esterly is married and lives in upstate New York.".
