DONALD MITCHELL

Born: Francisco, CA 1961
Donald Mitchell’s early work consisted primarily of obsessively crosshatched fields of lines that covered the page and hid any trace of an underlying image. Eventually, Donald started to reveal the faces and forms that he had buried on the page. Donald’s prolific work is filled with figures in motion and repose, and his trademark has become a tightly composed, graphically sophisticated page of crowded figures. He explores this theme over and over again in different media, seducing his audience and causing them to wonder about these silent, anonymous crowds. Donald is frequently exhibited among others at Gavin Brown’s enterprise, New York, and ABCD, Paris
