David King Reuben

“STARS AND STRIPES”

‘I meditate on death to question what this life asks of me’, says David King Reuben. 

David King Reuben is one of the artists for the ‘Do Not Forget’ exhibition curated by Polina Angelova. In his highly conceptual series of drawings created in quick succession and called ‘Stars and Stripes’ the artist depicts the dissonant extremes of beauty and hope in the horrors of war, the order in the heart of chaos, and creation in the gas clouds of destruction. 

David King Reuben is a multimedia artist. Born in London, UK he currently works and lives in New York, USA. King’s thoughts provoking and reactionary work has been featured at some of the most prestigious places including Miami Art Basel, Soho Arts Club and Frieze Art Fair. The Artist’s creativity extends to music where he is currently recording his debut album at Electric Lady Studios – the studio founded by Jimi Hendrix.

The Series ‘Stars and Stripes’ by David King Reuben took its physical form in the period 22.12.2018 – 27.12.2018.
