DAVID B.
David B. was born in France in 1959. He lives and works in Bologna, Italy.David B. is one of the founders of L’Association, a cult publishing house on the French new comic strip scene. After studying art deco, David B. has his first drawings published in various magazines (A suivre, Chic, Circus...). His dream books, published by L’Association won him attention and the intrinsic power of his world of dreamlike images which is emphasised by his mastery of black and white are until this day one of the most recognised features of his artistry.
Today, after some thirty years of artistic work he can claim to accumulate an extensive bibliography, of which especially his emblematic and autobiographic series ‘L’Ascension du Haut-Mal’ bears testimony to.
In 2016, he has a solo show at Le Pavillon Art Center in Colomiers, at the Abbaye Sainte-Croix Museum in les Sables d’Olonne.
He participates in many collective exhibitions, among which, recently, at the Museum of American Illustration in New York, at the Cultural Center in Chicago, FRAC Aquitaine, CAPC and at gallery anne barrault.
