David Jester
Biography
Born in Palm Springs, California, artist David Jester holds an MFA in Sculpture from Rutgers University. David Jester’s pool series of paintings is inspired by gay life online and in apps, exploring how individuals present and treat each other while celebrating the diversity and richness within the community. The pool symbolizes an isolated environment that is both separate from and connected to the larger world, with people inside and outside the pool holding distorted views of each other.
