About the Artist

David Feder is a Los Angeles–based, mixed-media artist and painter who turns the most ordinary materials into luminous, architectural works of art.  Educated at ArtCenter College of Design and the San Francisco Art Institute, Feder discovered early on that his deepest obsession was balance.  Symmetry, structure, and a sense of visual “rightness” became the quiet engine behind everything he makes. 

Even when his surfaces appear busy, layered, or chaotic, there is an invisible spine of order holding it all together—an underlying structure that is visually bold yet structurally soothing. This dimensional stability is why his pieces live so comfortably in homes, offices, and architectural spaces; they anchor a room.   

Feder’s gift is seeing beauty in the mundane and overlooked and then transforming those fragments into artwork that quietly radiate order, strength, and elegance—inviting you to live with them, discover new details over time, and experience the pleasure of balance every single day.

Calling himself a “3-Dimensionalist,” Feder builds his sculptural wall pieces from materials most people overlook or throw away: scrap lumber, corrugated cardboard, discarded paint trays, brushes, sticks, plastics, rubber, bits of metal, and other beautifully usable “leftovers.”  These fragments are meticulously organized into layered constructions, then usually finished with metallic paints that shift and shimmer with changing light. 

The work doesn’t just hang on a wall; it interacts with the room.  As daylight moves or evening lighting takes over, new highlights emerge, shadows deepen, and the piece seems to subtly re-compose itself.  Up close, viewers often feel the impulse to trace a line with their fingers, follow a groove, reach into a hollowed space—drawn in by the tactile richness of the surfaces.
