David Ebner

David Ebner has designed and created memorable art for Television and Cinema since he was 18 years of age. Listed by Wired Magazine as one of Hollywood’s most creative individuals, Ebner has contributed to over 70 feature films and has worked with notable auteurs such as Steven Spielberg, Guillermo Del Toro, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, Stephen Sommers, Francis Ford Coppola, Taylor Hackford, David Fincher, John Woo, Frank Darabont, among others.

While only 22 years of age, Dateline NBC and Entertainment Tonight, the two leading cable programs were branded with title graphics created by Ebner and his team. On top of that, Ebner oversaw the graphics for HBO, Nat Geo Channel, ESPN, Skybox, among others, winning BDA and Promaxx awards.

Ebner joined director Guillermo Del Toro for Hellboy, then as a producer and production partner for Pan’s Labyrinth, in which his team created the visual effects. They won over 100 film festival awards and won best in show at SigGraph’s Electronic Theater, representing the very best in Visual Effects that year.

As the Creative Director and Senior VFX Supervisor of Cafefx, Ebner and team created the films for Universal Studio’s “Wizarding World of Harry Potter.”  It is still considered the most successful theme park addition, with an immediate boost of 1 million annual attendees to the park.

At Ocean Blue Vault, Ebner is pleased to introduce his fine art.  His paintings reflect the emotion, passion, and feelings which percolate his creative mind.

Ebner’s watercolor, pencil and acrylic paintings reflect the emotion, passion, and feelings which percolate in his creative mind, drawing upon nature and imaginative inspirations as well as fascination by the works of Winslow Homer, Franz Marc, Claude Lorrain, Georgia O’Keefe, and master watercolor artist John Ebner, David’s uncle.

Just as he has for many film directors, Ebner often reaches within for new possibilities and exploration to delight people, often the case with groundbreaking visuals that have never been seen before.

You can see Ebner’s work in various galleries and art festivals. More information on the website.

About the Paintings:

Ebner creates Fine Art using watercolor, oil, pastel and acrylic paint over wood, paper, canvas and ceramic substrates. He works in the medium which best reflects the emotion of each piece, often times exploring unique mark making to further express a feeling.

The paints and substrate preparation are of the finest quality to ensure richness of colors and longevity.

Ebner also creates large mosaics on kiln fired ceramic tiles which he fully produces in-house.

Limited Edition prints are Museum Grade Giclees, which will last two hundred to four hundred years if cared for properly.
