David Vincent
Artist Statement
Throughout my artistic journey, I have primarily created representational works. Over the years, an inner pull has grown in magnitude to produce intuitive abstractions that explore color and movement through time and space. This body of work is purely experimental and reflects my desire to probe into a different dimension of my craft.
My artistic process is a voyage toward complete liberation. Having an end result is the antithesis of creating. I am deeply drawn to mystical occurrences, the raw beauty of nature and its elemental forces, abandoned and disparaged material things, the faded, the tampered with, the elusive markings on physical objects, the torn into, the scrapes, and the expansion of life that is eternally recreating itself. These fascinations serve as the springboard from which all my works emerge. I have no direct goal other than to devote myself to a limitless process without expectation.
Artist Biography
Biography David Vincent, a.k.a. David Vincent Gonzales, was born on February 3, 1971, on a U.S. Air Force Base in Wiesbaden, Germany. He grew up in Santa Fe, N.M., enjoying the benefits of belonging to a large, close-knit extended family. His family has been well-rooted in the area for 5 generations, which includes many well-known artists, such as wood carver Ben Ortega and weavers Jose and Pedro Rodriguez from the Canyon Road District. “As far back as I can remember, I have been working with art materials to create something based upon my observations.” (David Vincent)
It was evident in his youth that David was a gifted and talented artist. He attended St. Catherine’s Indian School in Santa Fe and began exhibiting his work at the young age of 12. By the time he was 17, his work was displayed in the Smithsonian and simultaneously received the New Mexico Governor’s Award. These accolades led to his art being featured in the Washington Tunnel in D.C. and the Governor's Mansion in Santa Fe, N.M. He was chosen by the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation to attend a two-week intensive creative program, which shaped David's decision to become a practicing artist. After high school, David received a full scholarship to the San Antonio Art Institute. A few years later, he attended the Kansas City Art Institute. It was at this time, in 1993, that Vincent's abstractions were chosen to be in an exhibit that included works by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Rauschenberg, and many other famous artists. His works have been included in several National Museum Traveling Exhibits and an International Exhibit where his art was displayed with the work of Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf, who are famous for their contribution to the Pop Art Movement.
Throughout David's career, his artwork has received numerous prestigious awards, and he has been awarded as the official artist for several national and international festivals and sporting events. He has collaborated with Olympian World Cup alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn, Tour de France legend Greg LeMond, and Warren Miller film star, writer, director, and philanthropist Chris Anthony to help raise money for inner-city youth. The Tiger Woods Foundation commissioned David to paint Tiger winning the 2019 Masters.
David's early work reflects his heritage, rich in Native American and Hispanic Cultural Traditions, but quickly expanded to include many styles and a multitude of mediums. Using oils, acrylics, watercolor, pencils, pastels, wood, and bronze, He has created 2 and 3-dimensional pieces ranging from photo-realism to abstract. He masterfully expresses his fascination with relative objects moving through space and time. It is this movement of related things that unifies his diverse body of work. It is what makes his art unique and easily recognizable. His work is not a static representation of a single moment in time; rather, they are more like living entities with a past, present, and future, ever moving and unfolding. David Vincent is the culmination of the artistic talent that has moved throughout his family for generations.
