David Fludd was born in 1965 in New York. His artist father, Reginald Fludd, who has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, exposed him to art at an early age. Fludd earned his Bachelor’s of Art from Morehouse College and his Master of Fine Arts from Yale University in 1991. In 1988, at the Huntington Township Art League juried exhibition at the Heckscher Museum, he won a top award with his oils of childlike, spontaneous sophistication. In 1989, the New York press, continued to recognize his “daring” and “exuberance.” His accolades include the Artist-in-Residence award at the Studio Museum in Harlem, admission to the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and a coveted Yaddo Artist-in-Residence grant, a Rome Award Scholar and a Guggenheim Fellow. Fludd depicts the soul of humanity and infuses humour into his original art. His art works are represented in private, public and collections throughout America including the Studio Museum in Harlem and The Walter O. Evans Collection of African American Art.
