Richmond, VA
David attended Denison University in Granville, OH. He studied communications and studio art and lives and works. Richmond, VA. The style of painting is a fresh and unexpected view of the human form. He continues to push the boundaries of subject matter, form and context within his work.
You can see influences from the color field movement, abstract expressionism, and chiaroscuro within David’s unique take on figurative painting, called “Emotionalism.” He continues to produce bold, halting images that elicit a strong emotional response. While the images represent everyday people and themes, they tap into fundamental emotions eliciting a connection to the work seldom experienced elsewhere. Layering, blending, manipulation on multiple levels provides additional dimension that pull the observer inward. “Emotionalism” is a three-way dialogue that is wholly based on the viewers’ willingness to interact and the artists’ ability to make themselves available.
