David Schell is a painter working in Portland, Oregon. He received an MFA from American University and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is interested in how we design, build, and organize in an attempt to create order. He is also interested in how structure, order, and best intentions eventually give way to something else. His work is often about allowing those two realities to coexist.
Recent exhibitions include the Bowery Gallery in New York (jurors: Stephen Westfall, 2015 and David Cohen of artcritical.com, 2014), Transformation Chase at the North View Gallery, and Gallery 114 in Portland, OR. He has also shown work at Gallery 214 on the Pacific Northwest College of Art campus (Portland,OR) and at Oregon State University (Corvallis, OR). His paintings were also published in Studio Visit magazine (volume 24, 2013).
