David King Reuben Opens West London Studio for Private Dinner and Art Unveiling
On May 7, David King Reuben, a British artist, hosted a private dinner at his West London studio for a select group of collectors, curators, and gallerists to reveal a new collection of artwork. This unique setting allowed attendees to experience the paintings in their creation environment, departing from the conventional gallery atmosphere. The evening featured live Spanish guitar, highlighting Reuben's integration of art, music, and performance. Currently recording an album at Electric Lady Studios in New York, he views sound and surface as interconnected in his creative journey. His latest works continue a decade-long investigation into layered surfaces, vibrant colors, child-like figures, and snippets of text and numbers, shaped by his Orthodox Jewish upbringing. The meal was crafted by chef Flora from Flavour by Flora, fostering engaging discussions among guests, including Cosima Vasey, Roxane Zand (former Chairman of Sotheby's Middle East), and others. The event was organized by Tara Zadeh Agency.
