Benjamin David

David is deeply interested in the use of art as a study tool for investigations into epistemology and metaphysics. His practice challenges diametric structures related to physical and spiritual, seen and unseen, and heaven and earth. David explores the proposition of a supernal universe that precedes these maxims, established from studies in ancient history, religion and philosophy.

In 2011, David received a BA in Philosophical Studies at CSU Northridge. After a year in an assistantship to a prominent artist, David was selected to attend the SSPI Painting Program at Tyler School of Art. He's shown in galleries from Tokyo to New York, and has been interviewed by critic Anthony Haden-Guest (who famously was the last to interview Basquiat) and curator Kate Mothes, among others. Benjamin has been active in shows and publications for the past 10 years. He lives and works in Washington USA.
