ABOUT THE WORK

Despite being known for his conceptual take on the traditional Western and site-specific canon of sculpture through his conceptual and kinetic pieces, David Medalla, much like most visual artists began his journey through rigorous experimentation fueled by an unquenchable curiosity. Medalla’s rebellious temperament was already apparent even through his simpler outings. One can easily see, through this acrylic piece, his clear departure from conventional techniques. His jagged and pronounced strokes and lines can be seen as a glimpse of his visionary spirit.
