David Ruhlman currently resides in Minnesota he paints primarily in gouache on wood panel. He is interested in the double, and its grotesque cousin, the anagram. The world rearranged, language transformed, the image as puzzle. David just received the 2014 McKnight Individual Artist Award through the CMAB. David has participated in a solo exhibit at the UMOCA, at Jancar Gallery in LA, the Cut Up / Reassembled: Collage & Assemblage in the American West at the Houston Baptist University, Houston Texas and at the London International Festival of Surrealism in London and numerous other galleries. He views art as a process, an investigation of materiality, color, and form. He tries to not be bound by any specific genre or style of painting; it is through continual experimentation that he finds enjoyment and gratification with his artistic practice.
