ARTIST’S STATEMENT
David Regan describes each of his works as an exploration of Eastern philosophies and modern physics. Within each painting, Regan has created an inner dialog between himself and the painting. He describes his process as “a self-contained journey, a dynamic of action and reflection until I arrive at what feels like a vista, one I had not previously imagined… As the resulting work comes into focus, I feel as though I’m uncovering something rather than creating it through volition.”
ABOUT
David graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore in 1995 with a BFA. He majored in Communication Arts and began working as an illustrator right out of college illustrating for publications such as Macworld, SF Chronicle, Harvard Magazine, USCF Magazine, American Express, and others. Despite success as a professional Illustrator, it was important for David to cultivate a personal artistic direction, so he continued to explore painting and sculpture on his own terms through experimentation with realistic, abstract, conceptual and non-objective styles. David Lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area.
