David is an interdisciplinary painter living in Chicago with roots in Jersey City, New York, and Cairo. His work deals with time, history, and the archive. He engages with past and current pivotal events and uses a formal language of mark-making in order to make sense of their ramifications and emotional gravity. Through sourcing social media, museum archives, and historical documents, he utilizes figuration and abstraction in order to
question assumptions of seeing, knowing, and remembering.
