David William Maris's work as an artist is formulated upon the values and observations that I have gained through life experience, experience that has been gained through communal, environmental and personal relationships. This work is dedicated to
pursuing the continuous and fearless exploration into the complexities of the human condition.
providing uncensored political commentary on the myriad institutions built into our societies and the many systems that propagandize on their behalf.
deconstructing the overt and covert messages carried within this propaganda and how these are segmented, compartmentalized, disguised, beautified and packaged for delivery and mass consumption by the public.
facilitating the contrasting vision that there is also colour and beauty to be found in the ugliness that is continually inflicted upon us.
confronting the depths into which we are willing to place ourselves in relation to the various mechanisms of society we have co-created and then empowered and allowed to deliver this content that envelops us.
The work is based in personal experience and the global limited understanding of human interaction. Hidden in the work is the social angst and the authenticity within which we must all conduct ourselves.
