David Blatherwick

David Blatherwick RCA is a Canadian artist and educator. He received a Bachelor of Arts in design from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in 1984, a Master of Fine Arts from Université du Québec à Montréal in 1989, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine in 1990. He is currently teaches at the University of Waterloo. His solo exhibition Cheese, Worms and the Holes in Everything, was presented at the Art Gallery of Windsor in 2007, Art Mûr gallery, in Montreal, and the Robert McLaughlin Gallery of Oshawa in 2008. Its production was also included in many exhibitions and was immortalized in a catalog of the same name. Initially interested in the potential for interconnectivity suggested by new media and the internet, Blatherwick evoked the immense complexity of these center-less networks in his paintings. Later in his career, his interest shifted to the more perilous biological activity found in our own bodies. "Fusing the technological and the biological in a single frame of reference, David Blatherwick has evolved his painting language while offering ample high-tech and organic eye candy to the viewer's hungry eye." Consistent throughout his entire oeuvre is a fascination with all forms of seething, rampant life, with organic shapes that bring to mind intestines, stomachs, molecules and viruses.
