Enrico David

Enrico David's multifaceted practice centers on a sustained inquiry into the anthropoidal form and the expressive potential of material. Over nearly four decades, his work has explored the translations and transformations of the body, identity, and persona.

Interdisciplinary in nature, David’s approach converses with the language of dramatization and theatre, drawing on diverse sources from visual fragments to literary and filmic references, alongside personal memory. His process involves an exploratory engagement with moulding and shaping materials.

This rigorous material exploration, often incorporating drawing and sculpture, gestures toward the applied arts while maintaining a distinct focus on the psychological and physical dimensions of the human figure. David’s oeuvre is a continuous unfolding of form and narrative.
