TOWERS
TOWERS
and architecture
When David was a child, around 7 years old, he recalls coming across the painting "The (Little) Tower Of Babel" by Pieter Bruegel the elder in one of his parent's books. He refers to this as his first conscious emotional reaction to a piece of art. The mood and form of the tower has haunted his imagination for decades.
He began his own interpretations of the subject in 2007, nearly 30 years after his first encounter with infamous image.
He has created hundreds of works of art in tribute to the tower including paintings, drawings, large scale installations, one of a kind articles of clothing and video.
This is a collection of paintings and drawings that trace the evolution of David’s towers and cities. Blending architectural influences with personal vision, these works explore the relationship between structure and imagination, with the towers often taking on the role of the main character in each piece.
