David Kofton

Ask David Kofton about his work, and he will tell you, “I am the voyeur. The unseen - narrating with paint." For 57 years, David has sought to capture the emotions as well as the beauty of his subjects. Known widely for his figurative art which has gained notoriety throughout the world, David works with the sensuous lines of the female form. David's work is included the private collections of the Fuller Art Museum in Brockton, MA; Museum de la Erotica in Barcalona, Spain; E.S. Museum in Miami, FL; and the Kinsey Institute in Indiana. For the Kinsey, his work comprises the largest collection of paintings, drawings, and sculptures of a living artist. David has been published in various magazines and books including “The World's Greatest Erotic Art of Today,
Volume 2.”
David studied at Massachusetts College of Art, graduating with a B.S.E. and a B.F.A. in 1967. For several years, David taught painting and sculpture in upstate New York before returning home to Deer Isle, Maine in 1972 where he maintains a studio to this day.
In 2005, with disintegrating vertebrae in his lower back, Kofton's physical limitations dictated the limits of his work. Larger projects still linger in his mind.
