“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol
The Red Coat is a recent work that evolved from David’s relationship with the colour red, his favourite colour, and how it evoked a series of memories from childhood.
