‘Less is a bore’ is the motto David Bade used for one of his exhibitions, and it exemplifies his art style. Bade creates drawings and paintings, as well as large installations and sculptures. He presents complex assemblies of 2D and 3D works, using various materials such as styrofoam, plastic, wood and waste. He is socially conscious, humorous, expressive and exuberant, challenging the viewers’ imagination.
