David Adey, M.F.A.

David Adey is a practicing artist and designer. He began his career in graphic design and branding working for clients such as Intel, Pepsi, Nike, Qualcomm, Taylor Guitars, Hasbro, and many others. His art is informed by this experience, and his recent cut-paper works explore the fraught intersection between our physical bodies and the increasingly digitized world they inhabit. Adey's art has been exhibited at The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Orange County Museum of Art, Torrance Art Museum, Cranbrook Art Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Art, The La Jolla Athenaeum, Oceanside Museum of Art, and galleries and venues nationally and internationally. His recent “Hide” series was selected for the exhibition “State of The Art, Discovering American Art Now,” which began at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas and has toured nationally. Adey's graphic design and illustration have won many awards and have been featured in publications such as Graphis and Communication Arts. His art has been reviewed and featured in publications including Art in America, Art Ltd., LA Weekly, Installation Magazine, Artbound by KCET, Riviera Magazine, The San Diego Union Tribune, Wired, KPBS and The Huffington Post. Adey recently completed a permanent public sculpture commission for the County of San Diego titled Inspiration/Expiration, which can be seen at the corner of Cedar and Kettner in downtown San Diego. He received his MFA in sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art, and BA in visual art from PLNU. He is represented by Scott White Contemporary Art in San Diego.
