From the Haines Gallery website 9/15/05: David Simpson has lived, taught and shown in the Bay Area since the mid '50s and has influenced a whole generation of artists interested in a reductive ideology. For the past 20 years Simpson has been working with an interference pigment, an acrylic based paint containing ionized particles, that when applied in many layers, refract the light. The resulting paintings have highly active surfaces that appear to change color as one moves around them, or as the natural light shifts through out the day. Simpson has been exhibited in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, France, and extensively in the States. He is represented in major collections such as Collection de Panza di Biumo, Italy, the Museo Cantonale D'Arte, Switzerland, San Jose Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
