David Corcoran began drawing in grade school where he and friends enjoyed illustrating dinosaurs, whales and the usual (for boys) military hardware but their favorite was what they called “The Bionic Head” consisting of a head profile filled with gears and curcuitry.

At age 10 David discovered his penchant for more advanced projects when he made a stop action film with the family’s super 8 camera employing a robot action figure and including a fiery special effect.

On school trips to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where he grew up, David was hugely impressed by, the old master oil -paintings, the collections of ancient art and artifacts and the ceiling frescos depicting angels and cherubs. In high school art classes David’s talents for drawing, painting and sculpture were pointed out and encouraged by some great teachers.

After High school David spent a summer hitch-hiking around Europe reinforcing his passion for art and developing new passions for architecture, urban planning and industrial design. Returning to Boston David began six years working under stained glass artist Jim Anderson and during that period began studying at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts spending his junior year studying in Paris and graduating from the Museum School in 1992.

Since then David has completed numerous paintings, painted several public murals, produced a series of furniture designs, worked as a stone sculptor and tried his hand at performance art, acting and singing.

Since 2005 David has been designing mobile self contained living spaces. First in a cargo van and next in a Honda Civic. He Is currently putting the finishing touches on his perprtual energy generator. David lives in New York City. His work has been exhibited in New York, Paris, Boston and Vermont.

Announcing Winner of Exoskeleton

I am truly flattered and humbled by all of the heartfelt, compelling and passionate letters that I received expressing the appreciation, respect and desire to live with my painting, Exoskeleton. I'm sure they would all have provided great and beneficial homes for the painting for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, in the end I had to choose just one. The artist Truman Marquez. Below I have included some of our correspondences.
Again, thanks so much to all who applied
