Michael David | The Mirror Stage
In Michael David's latest works, he continues to combine and extend the language of abstraction through his use of materiality and paint handling with his use of personal, political, and literary narrative and storytelling, aligning himself with some of today's greatest and most relevant practitioners of abstraction, Mark Bradford and Anselm Kiefer. David's paintings actualize, through his materials and abstract handling, the virtues and complexity of what makes us most human; strength, vulnerability, fragility, compassion, loss. They embody the lessons learned from one's own mistakes and acceptance of self.
