Artist Bio:
David Wesley White is a conceptual artist working across mediums. He was born and raised in Worcester County, Massachusetts before moving to New York City where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design in 2016. In 2020, David received his Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His work has been exhibited in Massachusetts, New York City, and Southern California.
David approaches the material world from a revolutionary, queer perspective. He is guided by the existential plight of politics; finding nuggets of humor and beauty inside a continuum of frustration and fear. His finished works exist as sculptures, videos, performances, and paintings. David’s process involves deconstructing and transforming objects to reveal hidden philosophies. His interventions and replications expose the fatal contradictions of a post-colonial, anthropocentric society that is increasingly teetering on the edge of collapse. These criticisms play out against a backdrop of personal and American history; tracing and breaking through the edges of the established past.
For the past couple years, David has also been working on recording his first full-length studio album. The music serves as a nostalgic escape; indulging emotions of deep love, home, ecstasy, and loss.
