David French

French creates unconventional paintings with colors and forms that are energized and interactive. Using instinctual methods like play and trial-and-error, French’s shapes are inspired by both natural and man-made sources. Previously known for three-dimensional wall sculptures, French’s current body of work focuses on the painted surface. He works with shaped wood panels and uses oil paint to find a balanced and coherent composition. Whether dimensional or flattened, French’s forms are dynamic, evocative and somehow familiar, even if abstracted. He twists geometric structures and pays incredible care to the textural surface, giving his work an organic quality that dramatizes an otherwise organized road.

French was born in St. Louis and received his BFA at the Atlanta College of Art in Georgia. He moved to Seattle in the early 1990s after an extended stay in Europe, and has exhibited widely in numerous galleries across the country and in Europe.
