David Theobald is a video artist born in Worthing in 1965. Although originally trained as a chemical engineer, he pursued a career in finance for fifteen years, living both in New York and London. Ten years ago he decided to change profession and dedicate himself to becoming a full-time artist. Most recently, his main works have been animations structured from photographs, scanned images or single frames extracted from video footage, blending these together to create a familiar yet alien environment. These may be structured as conventional films or as continuous loops with no discernible beginning or end.
Recent exhibitions include Deepest Sympathy at Ikon, Birmingham, Digitalis with Animate Projects, Open West 2011, RE: animate at the Oriel Davies Gallery in Wales, the Ev+a 2010 in Limerick, Ireland, the Celeste Prize 09 in Berlin, Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2008, which formed part of the recent Liverpool Biennial, the Cube Open 2010 and 08, ArtSway Open 08 and Open 07 and The Sleep of Reason at the Crawford Gallery, Cork. David�s work was also included in Figuring Landscapes, a touring exhibition of film and video showing at major art venues throughout the UK and Australia.
