This week, we welcome David McDonough, an abstract artist and educator based in Queens, NY.
Imagine what might materialize on canvas if Marc Chagall and Chaim Soutine had a love child while tripping at the Bronx Botanical Garden, and you’re headed in the right direction.
McDonough’s abstractions are often suggestive of natural forms, though they elude any singular reading. He works to balance control and spontaneity in processes that cultivate play, improvisation, invention and transformation. The intensity of the color palette, along with the varied surface textures, create intimate worlds rich with imaginative possibilities and visual discovery.
McDonough has shown in solo and group shows in and around NYC including recent group shows with Good Naked Gallery, Paradice Palase, Studio Archive Project, Tappeto Volante Projects, Equity Gallery and a solo exhibition at One River School. He has received multiple awards and is a Dedalus Foundation Fellowship nominee. He is represented by Good Naked Gallery.
