David’s work spans many media, from sculpture to performance. However, everything he makes is structured around drawing. “The method that I use results in a large output of quick, cognitive drawings made with black gouache paint on white paper. The drawings are made spontaneously: they depict scenes dredged up randomly from a mental backlog of scenarios I have read, seen or heard about.” Alongside his own practice he makes and curates shows with the artist Graham Parker, under the collaborative name of Bono & Sting. David is also a member of the art rock band Die Kunst.
