David Barthold is multi-media artist at Gowanus Studio Space on 7th Street In the Gowanus. His work draws heavily from the architecture, signage, street art and industrial character of the area, as well as from popular culture and historical sources. A lifelong printmaker, Barthold often transposes print effects onto his sculptures, freely creating individual parts which are later assembled spontaneously into finished works.
ABOUT THE WORK
In an increasingly globalized -and globalizing- reality, returning to identity has been central to my painting. Portraiture has become a search for the imperfect beauty of everyday life.
My works are a celebration of that in-between space between the public and the private: human relationships, social norms, emotions, self-awareness imperfection, incompleteness and the ability to find a place in the world that resembles who we are. From the use of photographs of popular culture and my surroundings my paintings become imaginary of what my own experience is.
