    About the Artist

    King David is an abstract artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Born in Flatbush to immigrant parents from the Caribbean, his unique upbringing was heavily influenced by his completion of a program called Prep for Prep. This nonprofit afforded him scholarship opportunities to attend the The Dalton School and Gettysburg College, where he graduated as a Studio Art major with honors. This scholarly achievement would also lead David to the doors of the Leo Marchutz School of Painting and Drawing in Aix-en-Provence, where he studied for a semester abroad during his undergraduate years. On a path paved contrastingly with grueling vicissitudes and hard-earned opportunities to succeed, David proudly credits his exceptional educators, especially those in the Arts, for nurturing his academic prowess as acutely as his artistic passions. After the experience of losing his father to suicide in 2016, David found his voice and expressive style in abstract painting and has been committed to working in this fashion ever since, supplementing his focus on abstraction with similarly conceived drawings, watercolors, sculptures, and photographs. He has been working out of his studio in Brooklyn since 2018.
