Dave Paul Gonzales Armbrüster is a self-taught painter based out of Austin, Texas. After receiving a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Media Arts and Animation from the Art Institute of Houston, Dave pursued animation, 3D modeling and graphic design jobs for years before beginning to explore painting as a more creatively liberating medium. Intent on exploring the concepts of celebrity, fame, and infamy through portraits, and inspired by graffiti and street art, as well the 1950's Pop Art movement, Dave Armbrüster creates paintings on reclaimed wood surfaces, using layers of intricately cut paper stencils and spray paint
