Karen David is an artist, curator and lecturer. In 2018 David was awarded a studentship for a practice-led PhD with a studio focus on mythmaking, fictional narrative, communes and para-anthropology. She lives and works in London where she is a Lecturer in Painting at London Metropolitan University.

Karen David’s multi-disciplinary practice examines themes and notions of mysticism with direct reference to consumerism and the domestic. Through the use of materials, mediums and subcultures such as tie-dye, crystals, dreamcatchers and The X-Files, which she employs as aesthetic-shorthand for ‘New Age’ and ‘paranormal’ ideas, her work hovers between cynicism and sincerity, creating a space for experiment, magic, mythmaking and new meanings.

One further fan by the artists can be purchased directly from White Conduit Projects.
