The paintings of David Dellagi (b. 1970) showcase no easy task. They are visual spectacles, carrying many layers of meaning beneath their appealing exterior.
The kaleidoscopic framework bring us back to childhood memories of escaping the real world by focusing on the dreamlike fiction before our eyes, looking through the magical lens.
In a similar manner, Dellagi creates paintings with references to photos, cut-outs and collage material. The end result is an altered image on the canvas, which keeps us curious and amazed.
David Dellagi (b. 1970) has produced a remarkably rich and diverse body of work, ranging from painting, sculpture and collage to film. He made his artistic debut at The Artist’s Autumn Exhibition (KE), in Copenhagen in 1993. Since then, he has exhibited widely in places such as Skive Kunstmuseum, Rønnebæksholm, Kunstbygningen i Vrå, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Danish Graphics Association, as well as in New York, London, Los Angeles, Stockholm and Mexico City.
