David Lindberg (Des Moines, 1964) investigates materials and how they behave in the tradition of American Minimalism. It is the material itself that defines form in his work. Lindberg uses clear resins and pigments, transformed into glossy multi-coloured surfaces. He does not use any moulds or tools, only his hands and non-professional implements, attributing great importance to handcrafting and spontaneity. Colours crystallised into glossy surfaces or little drops have all the transparency of sky and water, while shapes become something else, moving constantly back and forth between painting and sculpture.
Lindberg lived for many years in the Netherland. In 2014 he moved to Milan and after one year he moved back to the US. He lives now in New York and has a studio in Brooklyn.
