The international painter David Twose works as a true tightrope walker, seeking the perfect harmony between figuration and abstraction.

He creates a world away from space and time, a universe with powerful colours and forms that draws its inspiration from the human body, landscapes, urban landscapes...

David Twose reveals the abstraction hiding within reality, with the aim of expressing a world that transcends us, touching the essence of all that surrounds and inhabits us.

His oil paintings put our imagination to work, bringing us back to our need for contemplation.

Born on 18.03.1977, Twose lives and works in Paris.

He has been trained by Jérôme Quèbre (Grande Chaumière – Paris), and by the abstract colourist painter Jacques Vigot.

He regularly exhibits in Parisian galeries and Salons (Salon d'Automne, Salon des Artistes Français…), as well as internationally (Chicago, National Art Center in Tokyo, St. Petersburg, Hermitage-Vyborg Center, Venice Biennale…).

In 2020, he collaborated with the Citroën brand.

The same year, he also participated in an exhibition organized by the NGO MEADOWS in association with the UNESCO Beirut office.

In 2022, he participed in an audiovisual installation presented at the 59th Venice Biennale of Art, in the Mora Palazzo.
