David Bray ​​is ​​well ​​known​​ for transcribing​ ​psychoactive​ ​iconography​ ​through​ ​the​ ​lens​ ​of​ ​singular​ ​imagery​ ​with​ ​his​ ​unique​ ​DIY aesthetic.​ ​Creatively​ ​driven​ ​by​ ​his​ ​punk​ ​ethos,​ ​he​ ​utilizes​ ​basic​ ​drawing​ ​tools​ ​and​ ​found materials​ ​to​ ​explore​ ​the​ ​full​ ​spectrum​ ​of​ ​his​ ​inner​ ​fantasy​ ​world.​ ​The​ ​result​ ​is​ ​a​ ​striking combination​ ​of​ ​naïve​ ​art​ ​and​ ​wild​ ​imagination.​ ​Starkly​ ​woven​ ​within​ ​each​ ​piece​ ​is​ ​a​ ​virtually endless​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​mystery​ ​that​ ​begs​ ​for​ ​repeat​ ​viewings. ​

Born in Dartford, Kent, in 1970, as a child Bray would apparently draw images of space travel, depicting himself and his friends visiting other Planets and Universes. As he grew older he began to explore a dark, egotistical fantasy world, which is still apparent in the work he makes today.

Bray is influenced and inspired by a wide range of artists: from sculptor Allen Jones, photographer Helmut Newton and paintings by Gustav Klimt. Bray creates delicate and time-consuming drawings which explore emotion, utopia and a world of fantasy through his subject matter of the beautiful and erotic. His compelling works reveal his lifetime love of drawing and a very active imagination.

He has exhibited in galleries from London to the USA, and has collaborated with many brands and media channels, including Agent Provocateur, Puma and Absolut, BBC and MTV.
