David Matthew King
American artist David Matthew King is widely known for his use of primary colors within his artistic practice. He focuses on creating vibrant, abstract works that incorporate bold colors and expressive brushstrokes. His paintings often explore themes of nature and the human experience, and he is known for his ability to capture emotion and movement in his work, all without the use of black or white. A constellation of solid colors, the artist applies acrylic paint on unprimed canvas repeatedly until a sense of movement is formed.
King believes that each colour’s responsibility is to heighten the visual impact of others, and he uses placement, spaces, form, and composition to create a gravitational push and pull within his work that keeps it timeless while challenging emotional and linguistic boundaries.
