David W. Cummings Artist Bio & Statement
David was born and raised in Eastern Oklahoma. At Kansas City Art Institute, he received his first formal training and acquired a deep appreciation and love for the French painter Paul Cezanne. He has been and is still Cummings’ most important influence.
After graduation from art school and receiving a B.F.A degree, he moved to the Bay Area of San Francisco where he was able to study the then popular Bay Area figurative movement. Both the painters of that movement and the light itself of Northern California were a great influence on his thinking of color, but he decided to abandon any literary or graphic reference to color in nature and pursue a more violent expressive use of color in his work.
Upon receipt of his M.F.A degree, he moved to New York City to a loft in SoHo. Working with his ideas of color, he was included in a group show at the O.K. Harris Gallery and in a major museum show “ Lyrical Abstraction” that was first shown at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, Connecticut and then travels to several museums across the United States with it final exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. He also had his first solo exhibition at Henri Gallery in Washington D.C. He also exhibited in shows with the Allan Stone Gallery and Gallery Alexandra Monett.
Cummings continued to work and pursue his ideas in New York City, until when he gave up my loft in SoHo and moved to his studio home in a converted factory building in Jersey City. Although he continued to exhibit in New York City and Brussels.
