Matt David is a Scottish queer artist. They received a BA in Illustration from Duncan of Jordanstone School of Arts and Design University of Dundee in 2014. Their work developed from primarily pastel and ink portrait and figure work to exploring the cyanotypes and combining mediums with this technique.
Matt's work centres on exploring queerness within symbolism, sexuality and expression. It has been essential for Matt to create work that tackles themes they surround themselves with and challenge. This ranges from HIV stigma to objectification of queer bodies. In addition to their works, Matt has worked on commissioned portraits, promotional posters for queer events and song promotional art. Matt is an Art Editor for the queer creative magazine ‘Snowflake Magazine’, which wants to give a voice to smaller creatives just starting to promote them to a higher platform and reach a wider audience.
