About the Item

David Datuna is a New York-based artist focused on the convergence of art and social consciousness. He is most widely known for his Viewpoint of Millions series that explores the sources and meaning of cultural identity from each unique point of view. Datuna’s signature technique in Viewpoint of Millions is a network of positive and negative optical lenses suspended over a large-scale layered, collaged and painted image. The mixed media palette often includes photography, newspaper articles, magazine clippings, paint and color. The prismatic surface both hides and reveals the work below, while the lenses symbolize individual identity, illusion, perception, fragmentation and unification. Portraits, flags and icons are recurring themes within the Viewpoint of Millions series. Datuna’s artwork is a political, cultural and commercial commentary on our current collective consciousness. UK Flag, Sex and Music, features images of British Rock stars and iconic beauties from film, fashion and beauty. In December 2013 David Datuna became the first artist in the world to utilize wearable technology in a contemporary work of art on a monumental scale with Portrait of America – the first installation in his Viewpoint of Billions series. Portrait of America debuted during Art Basel Miami Beach 2013 at The New World Symphony, then headed to the Lincoln Center in New York. In February 2014, the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery featured Portrait of America, where record-breaking 27,000 visitors waited for over two hours to see Datuna's work, expanding the definition of a 21st Century portrait. A feature length documentary film that traces Datuna's journey from Tblisi, Georgia to today was completed in 2015, and is currently playing at film festivals around the world. Along with critical acclaim, the movie won the prestigious Best Feature Film award at the Raindance Film Festival in London.
