David French Artist Bio & Statement
“I was diagnosed with cancer in 2000. Today I am cancer free. This personally painful experience profoundly shaped me as an individual and artist. This event informs my artwork today. I do not try to represent those moments I had. I find myself creating imagery in order to make sense of certain things that have occurred or I wish to occur. In the face of personal oblivion, I wish to locate myself. I chose to work with oil paint on stretched linen or acrylics / inks on paper, primarily because of their fluid, fleshy, visceral and organic quality, not unlike the body. The painting surface is a skin, the illusory depth a body in space.”
Born in England, residing outside NYC in New Jersey, David French has been exhibiting artwork professionally since 1987. He had the opportunity to pursue his love of visual art at Carnegie-Mellon University- BFA and Vermont College of Fine Art- MFA. He further mentored with D.C. based Color-field artist Sam Gilliam.
In 1990, David French presented his first solo exhibition in Chicago. David continues to show his work in museums and galleries across the country. Recently, David participated in Bold and Beautiful at Drawing Rooms and A Dark Wood at Art House Production and Curious Matter Galleries both in Jersey City NJ. A Dark Wood exhibition went on to travel to The Noyes Museum in Atlantic City NJ. In 2013 he had a solo exhibit of paintings and works on paper at the Rawls Museum in VA. David received a purchase award in 2013 from the Noyes Museum to install a public sculpture on view at the Atlantic City Waterfront Sculpture Walk. He has also exhibited at SOHO20Gallery and G.R.N’Namdi Gallery in New York City. David had favorable reviews in the Baltimore Sun, The Baltimore Examiner, The Chicago Tribune, The Gold Coast and Greater Media News.
