Diao is an influential painter and teacher, whose work melds personal and art historical references. His 2009 New York solo exhibition was based on his return to his childhood home in Chengdu and finding it destroyed. Through the use of text, drawing, images, and painterly surfaces, his work explores the intersection of the history of art, culture, and personal meaning.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33\" style=\"width: 574px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/artspeak\/files\/2010\/09\/david-diaoslanted-moma1995-vinyl-and-acrylic-on-canvas-46x70_-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"David Diao, Slanted MoMA, 1995, Vinyl and acrylic on canvas, 46 x 70 inhces.\" width=\"574\" height=\"351\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Diao, <i>Slanted MoMA<\/i>, 1995, Vinyl and acrylic on canvas, 46 x 70 inches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36\" style=\"width: 302px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/artspeak\/files\/2010\/09\/david_diao_in_dessau_2009crop.jpg\" alt=\"David Diao in Dessau, Germany, 2009\" width=\"302\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/artspeak\/files\/2010\/09\/david_diao_in_dessau_2009crop.jpg 184w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/artspeak\/files\/2010\/09\/david_diao_in_dessau_2009crop-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Diao in Dessau, Germany, 2009.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38\" style=\"width: 356px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-38\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/artspeak\/files\/2010\/09\/diao-david-odd-man-out-1974-acrylic-on-canvas-90x84inches1-281x300.jpg\" alt=\"David Diao, Odd Man Out, 1974, Acrylic on canvas, 90 x 84 inches\" width=\"356\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/artspeak\/files\/2010\/09\/diao-david-odd-man-out-1974-acrylic-on-canvas-90x84inches1-281x300.jpg 281w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/artspeak\/files\/2010\/09\/diao-david-odd-man-out-1974-acrylic-on-canvas-90x84inches1-959x1024.jpg 959w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/artspeak\/files\/2010\/09\/diao-david-odd-man-out-1974-acrylic-on-canvas-90x84inches1.jpg 1161w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Diao, <i>Odd Man Out<\/i>, 1974, Acrylic on canvas, 90 x 84 inches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first ARTSpeak lecture will feature artist David Diao.
