David Nakabayashi

David Nakabayashi was born in Germany and grew up in Japan, Oklahoma, and Texas. He is a self-taught artist with a broad range of experience working as a cook, a cotton chopper, a musician, a naturalist, a graphic designer, and an urban designer. His rootless childhood evolved into a lifelong exploration of the American landscape with its homogeneous sprawl, forgotten architecture, untamable nature and chance cultural encounters, all of which filter into his artwork, which includes painting, works on paper, collage, mixed media sculpture, photography and installation. David has had several solo exhibitions in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Michigan, and group exhibitions at the El Paso Museum of Art in El Paso, Texas, the Museo Regional in Chihuahua, Mexico and Denise Bibro in New York. David has lived and worked in New York City since 2013.
