David Brady is a Los Angeles artist. He is known for his continuous exploration of
the figure through collage and his use of found objects. Brady views painting and
creativity as a science in which one incessantly experiments with a variety of
mediums and self-taught techniques while researching themes through travel,
sketching and research. Utilizing a host of found objects and recycled materials
his collage based paintings portray powerful and provocative images that reflect
contemporary life. His creations include collage, assemblage, oil and drawing as
well as digitally based projections and interactive multimedia.
Since the early 1980's, Brady's paintings and collage
works have been featured in several one-man and group
exhibitions, international projects and student
programs. His appetite for everything creative has
landed him an "Artist in Residence in Japan",
performance works at UCLA/Hammer Museum in addition to
collaborating with Nelson Mandela, poet Amde Hamilton,
composer Mark Sims and others.
Exhibitions and projects include the Museum of Fine
Art Cuba, Modern Art Museum Mexico, Turchin Center for
the Arts, The Lincoln Center, Lilia Arts Center Japan,
MOCA Los Angeles, World Trade Center Osaka and the
Center for the Study of Collage in France and others.
