David Noro is a Danish artist who lives and works in Amsterdam and Copenhagen. He graduated from The Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, and The Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp in Belgium. Noro is a painter but other work categories include drawing, graphics, ceramics and three-dimensional objects. Based on a personal archive of random words, texts, songs and conversations, Noro relays fragments from the everyday which are poetically enshrined in his artistic practice.
Central for Noro is that there is no preferred subject field. Works are created with a momentary and relational mind-set, where motifs arise and are constantly matured. His works unfurl prosaic stories where villains, heroes and simple characters freely perform in narrations which can appear equally banal and intellectually complex.
