Because it is me who paints these pictures it is true that they are portraits of myself. Furthermore, as portraits of a human they are also that of every human – I draw out of myself what is common in all humans, but yet I remove that which differentiates me from them.

DAVID DALLA VENEZIA
He studied art and philosophy at the University of Venice. From 1987 to 1989, in close collaboration with the Japanese artist Hiroshi Daikoku, he starts to paint making 12 large murals on the wooden palisades of restoration sites in the streets of Venice. In 1989 his first personal exhibition took place at the Bac Art Studio Gallery in Venice. From 1990 to 1992 he lived and worked in Nice, where he took part in group exhibitions in the region (23rd Cagnes-sur-Mer International Painting Festival and the 4th International Contemporary Art Biennial, where he won first prize for painting). In 1992, on the occasion of his participation in the “Corale” exhibition, as curated by Andrea Pagnes at the Fondazione Bevilacqua-La Masa, he moved back to Venice and has lived and worked here since that time. He has since continued to paint and exhibit in Italy and abroad, developing his style and perfecting his painting technique while always seeking a comparison with contemporary art.
This is the fourth personal exhibition at Burkhard Eikelmann Galerie, the three previous were hold in 2001, 2009 and 2014.
