David Salle (b. 1952, Norman, OK; lives in East Hampton, NY) is a renowned figurative painter whose work has long combined popular references and imagery with thoughtful and deeply art historical compositions. His multilayered paintings suggest provocative relationships between mass-media objects and archetypical subjects, rejecting notions of sensory overload and proposing new visual structures, including explorations of AI and NFT technologies. The MCA presented Salle’s work early (1985), in a career that now spans over forty-five years, with additional solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain; and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
