Enrico David - Profile

Enrico David's embroideries create a camp theatricality; his figures emerge as staged constructions, paralleling outward appearance with inner fantasy. In Agent, David's crouching figure is set in monotone against blended grey ground, creating the inside-out suggestion of photographic negative. Within the red trimmed contours, an image of a warrior appears, reminiscent of Japanese woodcuts. Heavily stitched with thick wool, Agent's burly soft texture both highlights and undermines the perception of strength and masculinity, portraying a dandy of heroic proportions. Enrico David's stylised figures draw upon the carnival-esque, their elaborate costumed appearance both celebrates and closets their identity. Set a la Bond girl against a sumptuous candyfloss pink ground, Cora presents a naughty intrigue associated with a more romantic and innocent time. Through both his subject and media, David confronts the boundaries of gender expectation: rendered through the traditional women's art of needlework, Cora's body is suspiciously asexual, 'her' butterfly head spanning in demure reference to female genitalia.
