David Gray (b. 1970) acquired a strong
foundational education in art while obtaining his BFA from Pacific
Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. His art education has
continued with independent and occasional formal studies in pictorial
expression and oil painting. The resulting work reveals a personal and
contemporary expression of beauty and order which pays homage to the
Classical Tradition in its craftsmanship.
David's paintings have earned several national
awards and his career has been covered by major art publications
including Southwest Art, Art of the West, and American Art Collector.
David's works are included in many discriminating private art
collections throughout the United States and abroad.
"Whether he is painting still lifes or
figures, Gray brings a deep knowledge of and respect for the masters
that translates into an elegant minimalism on canvas or panel. His
tonalist portraits usually focus solely on the head and shoulders, while
his still lifes feature timeless objects such as copper pots and china
teacups surrounded by generous doses of negative space."
