| David Aylsworth was born in Tiffin, Ohio in 1966, and lives and works in Houston. He received a BFA from Kent State University in 1989 and was a Core Artist-in-Residence at the Glassell School, Museum of Fine Arts, from 1989-1991. He uses a playful language of evocative forms, unusual colors, and textures in abstractions that pack a big punch. Sporting titles taken from the lyrics of Broadway musicals, the work presents an exuberant celebration of gesture. Aylsworth's paintings are included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Dallas Museum of Art, the El Paso Museum of Art, and the Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi. In 2001 the Galveston Art Center mounted a ten-year survey exhibition, which traveled throughout Texas and included a full color catalogue (available from the gallery). He was a finalist for the 2006 Hunting Art Prize. Recent exhibitions include Similarly Occupied, at Holly Johnson Gallery, Dallas, Texas in the spring of 2006.
