Graffiti, Drawing Bones, and Earth Pigments: How David Popa combines art and adventure
In the newest episode of Art is Cheaper than Therapy, I chat with David Popa, a Finland based artist originally from NYC who creates large-scale ephemeral works with natural earth-based pigments. From speaking about his father’s background in both early 80s graffiti and classical painting, to Popa’s childhood unrest in the studio, we learn about the concept of thin spaces and a form of art that combines adventure with traditional painting.
