“Scorpio”
The painting “Scorpio” features model Dax Savage holding Vrischika-asana (or the scorpion pose) over a vast, southern California landscape. The light bulb in the foreground reflects the intensity of his focus, and the singular essence of his ideas. Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac and is often associated with intensity and power. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a complex, focused, and self-contained character but can also be prone to extremity and cruelty.
David Campbell Wilson was born a double scorpio on October 26, 1973. He began his formal art training in Philadelphia at the age of twelve, and received his BFA from Syracuse University in 1995, where he studied under reknown figurative painter Jerome Witkin. David spent five years living and painting in downtown Seattle. He is an accomplished fire performer and a member of the Burning Man Fire Conclave. His paintings have exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, and Portland.
He currently lives and paints in downtown Los Angeles. His latest body of work is entitled ‘The Box Series’, and centers around a 91 painting installation entitled “The Queen of the Box”. More of his work can be viewed online at http://www.davidwilsonlives.com.
