David Opdyke worked 10 years as an architectural model maker Youtube
https://brooklynrail.org/2008/10/art/john-opdyke-with-phong-bui
Opdyke: That’s fairly accurate. I did intend to be an industrial designer, more out of the fear of poverty than anything else really. After the first year, I changed my interest to painting which I soon discovered as essentially limitless, totally opposite to the dry, rational confinement of industrial design. I mean you could just paint your way into the canvas and never come out, which was exciting, but I needed something to work against. A simple way to describe it is that if you have a piece of wood and some nails, there are ways you can put them together and ways you can’t. You can invent other rules as you go along, and eventually you try to impose a set of rules on yourself—a very useful thing for me, otherwise I just go on forever.
https://www.artspace.com/david_opdyke
David Opdyke is a draughtsman and sculptor known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Working as an architectural model maker, Opdyke had a political awakening in the early 2000s. Confronted by the horror of September 11th and America's subsequent wars, Opdyke put his technical background to use, forming critiques of Bush-era ideology. His hyperrealistic topographical models of American suburbs comment on mall culture and suburban sprawl, while his sculptures of ruined monuments mock imperialistic hubris. In these works, symbols of power and American exceptionalism, such as an astronaut and the Capitol building, are reduced to crumbling, pathetic miniatures. Opdyke's work has been exhibited at venues including the Museum of Arts and Design, MoMA PS1, and the Brooklyn Museum.
http://www.magnanmetz.com/exhibitions/david-opdyke-truthful-hyperbole David Opdyke's new body of work refracts the promised glow of American democracy - once embodied in shiny optimism and irrefutable power. Coined by Tony Schwartz to describe the creative liberty taken to bolster Trump's success in his biography, The Art of the Deal, Opdyke now uses the phrase to shed dystopian light on our political landscape.

David Opdyke worked 10 years as an architectural model maker Youtube
https://brooklynrail.org/2008/10/art/john-opdyke-with-phong-bui
Opdyke: That’s fairly accurate. I did intend to be an industrial designer, more out of the fear of poverty than anything else really. After the first year, I changed my interest to painting which I soon discovered as essentially limitless, totally opposite to the dry, rational confinement of industrial design. I mean you could just paint your way into the canvas and never come out, which was exciting, but I needed something to work against. A simple way to describe it is that if you have a piece of wood and some nails, there are ways you can put them together and ways you can’t. You can invent other rules as you go along, and eventually you try to impose a set of rules on yourself—a very useful thing for me, otherwise I just go on forever.
https://www.artspace.com/david_opdyke
David Opdyke is a draughtsman and sculptor known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Working as an architectural model maker, Opdyke had a political awakening in the early 2000s. Confronted by the horror of September 11th and America's subsequent wars, Opdyke put his technical background to use, forming critiques of Bush-era ideology. His hyperrealistic topographical models of American suburbs comment on mall culture and suburban sprawl, while his sculptures of ruined monuments mock imperialistic hubris. In these works, symbols of power and American exceptionalism, such as an astronaut and the Capitol building, are reduced to crumbling, pathetic miniatures. Opdyke's work has been exhibited at venues including the Museum of Arts and Design, MoMA PS1, and the Brooklyn Museum.
http://www.magnanmetz.com/exhibitions/david-opdyke-truthful-hyperbole David Opdyke's new body of work refracts the promised glow of American democracy - once embodied in shiny optimism and irrefutable power. Coined by Tony Schwartz to describe the creative liberty taken to bolster Trump's success in his biography, The Art of the Deal, Opdyke now uses the phrase to shed dystopian light on our political landscape.
