    David Collins

    This unique, monotype on Asian paper is part of an ongoing series of prints by David Collins.

    In his abstracted, geometric paintings and prints, brightly colored planes are simultaneously assembled and fragmented, at once recalling familiar forms and challenging them as shapes disperse into space. Collins explores the fluidity and unreliability of memory by depicting complex, piecemeal recollections of specific places. He shares his family's history in Cold War-era technology, often referencing airports, construction zones, and other industrial sites in addition to domestic interiors. His paintings include wallpaper samples in patterns that reference specific memories of his life; as they split into pieces, they reveal otherwise hidden elements and suggest exterior realms beyond the limitations of a single chamber.

    “The pictorial engine that propels much of the work of the painter and printmaker David Collins is a dialogue between crisply defined geometrical shapes and decorative motifs and a vast immersive space, an infinitely expanding formlessness that is bounded (literally but not in the viewer’s imagination) by the painting’s outside edge. Collins proposes a dynamic tension between these seemingly oppositional forces or conditions and achieves a dialectical resolution—tenuous in some works, seemingly inevitable in others—that conveys a sense of complex pressures aligning in compositional harmony.” -Stephen Maine

    Collins earned an BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design. He is a two-time recipient of the Yaddo Fellowship. His work has been featured in The New York Times and Dallas Art News. His work is in many private and public collections including the United States Department of State, Washington DC, the Library of Congress, Washington D.C, the University of Iowa Hospital, Iowa City, IA, the Sanbao Ceramic Art Institute, Jingdezhen, China, the Dallas Jesuit Art Museum, the Dallas Country Club, DFW international Airport, and Meridian Teterboro Airport and many others.
