Matt David
Matt David is a Scottish, queer artist living in London. A graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee, their background is in illustration. Their current work focuses on using the medium of cyanotype printing to handle a range of queer themes.They look to the work of the queer artists who were making work during the AIDS crisis during the 1980s, such as Félix González-Torres, with a particular focus on the despair and anguish expressed over the lack of action from the general public in response to the crisis. David finds ways to re-frame these narratives in the present day, when HIV is no longer a death sentence, and the disease can be easily managed with medication. David was awarded the Honorable Mention Award in the "8th Open" art competition with Teravarna Art Gallery. Other selected exhibitions include GWX Gallery in Groundworks, Tuscon, and Suffolk Pride 2023 exhibition "Thrive".
