David Chinyama is a Toronto based multi-disciplinary artist specializing in fine art, new media and digital design whose work is inspired by color, form, movement and texture. His work is a representation of fascinations often shaped by personal and collective experiences of our daily lives.
Working in multi media, he explores subject matters centered upon aspects of identity, socio-economic, political and religious connotations. His compositions mostly made out of found fabrics and recycled fibers are cut, stitched and painted together onto canvas to form varying patterns and shapes.
His practice can best be described as a form of an adaptation, response and a reflection of our ever changing world and its cultural norms . He loves working with unfamiliar materials and experimenting on how they relate to each other when placed in new frames that assign to them a new function.
