DYoungV
DYoungV has been a resident of San Francisco for the past 17 years. After receiving his MFA in Fine Art from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2006, he has actively pursued his artistic vision throughout several gallery and street projects all over the globe. The bulk of his work narrates a post apocalyptic culture that is building the groundwork for creating a new society. His images display a sense of hope, belief, community and the duality of human nature. Each and every gallery project contains a unique chapter and perspective of this new world, allowing the viewer an expanded knowledge of his vision with every additional installment. Outside of his gallery installations, Young's vision is expanded onto indoor/outdoor murals throughout the United States as well as several street projects in North and Central America, Asia, Europe and the UK. The media of his work ranges from pen/ink, painting, printmaking, collage, sculpture and mixed media. As his projects advance, the media and aesthetic alters itself to fit the style and narration of each particular segment of his development.
"BREATH ll"
This specific mural is part on an ongoing series or works that portray different aspects of my Muse. I often create works that incorporate the various features of who she is physically, emotionally and spiritually. He hands, her words and elements of her personality are all things that offer the inspiration for these works while simultaneously celebrating her as a person.
"POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE"
This mural represents the attitude I have adopted over the last year of my life. Maintaining my belief around these words has made me both optimist and ambitious for the changes existing throughout my life, my community, this city and the entire world around me. I believe that through what appears as the endless layers of challenges and adversity the world has presented us in these last several months have only strengthened my resolve and ability to push forward into the future I want to help build.
