I met David Gibson in 2000 having been referred to him by my good friend and colleague the painter Lisa Stefanelli. A friend in the Digital Design community Rosemary Flannery had introduced me to Lisa after I told her that I was determined to make a go of a serious painting career having spent some time in a successful Broadcast Design career. I contacted David and was surprised to get a quick response where we scheduled a studio visit. Glad I was in town that Memorial Day Weekend!
We had an amazing studio visit where I was struck by his insight and critical depth. His grasp on my work gave me a handle on my own practice that was invaluable. Our conversations to this day really make me think. I have been honored to be included in many of David’s curated exhibitions. I have included his critical essay on my work on my website. http://www.marcybrafmanpaintings.com/about/. I have also been glad to participate in PlaySpace Magazine which opened my thinking to project and art journalism.
Everyone I know in the Art World and everything I have done I can trace directly back to my
relationship with David Gibson.

David Gibson is a prolific writer and curator with a wealth of art world knowledge. I met David Gibson in 1998 at John Gibson Gallery in SoHo. As a visual artist I was freelance writing for NYArts Magazine. David told me that he edited and published an online magazine
called Article.
When David Gibson was curating his first group exhibition, Sugar+Spice (2000) he visited my studio. Since then David has visited my studio when choosing my work for ten group exhibitions, most notably ID_Entity at NURTUREart, Brooklyn (2003), Beautiful Dreamer at SPACES in Cleveland (2006), and My Heroes at Jack the Pelican Presents (2009).
For several years David Gibson was the director of Realform Project Space, a small storefront window art gallery on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn for which David curated 40 monthly solo exhibitions for artists, including an installation of my works on paper titled Portals of Truth (2003). Another of David Gibson’s projects is the artist lecture series Real Art Today, for which I participated in 2006.
David Gibson has written many catalogue essays for artists, and in 2011 I hired David Gibson to write the catalogue essay for my solo exhibition Womania at Wandergalerie, Barcelona, Spain, as he has an in-depth understanding of my figurative painting. Since 2000 David has curated over 130 exhibitions while continually publishing his critical
writing in many national and international art magazines.
I highly recommend David Gibson as an experienced and professional writer and curator.

I have known David Gibson for almost ten years, ever since a friend brought him to my studio. David spoke enthusiastically and knowledgeably about painting, the art world, and art in general. We discussed his writing and curating activities and his ideas for future exhibitions. David has a curatorial mind--he is able to see and establish connections among a variety of contemporary art forms. I have seen David relentlessly pursue exhibition venues and opportunities for independent artists. I've participated in several of David's exhibitions and have found them to be professionally handled and well-received.

It is my pleasure to write a few words on behalf of David Gibson (no relation). I've known David for several years, he has been a true supporter throughout this time. I first met David in about 2009, when he showed many of my watercolor cut outs in Williamsburg. He has always been a smart curator, offering constructive criticism as needed. The second time we met he curated my paintings into a show in the lower east side. It was a great line-up with some others art that has stayed with me to this day. I know his endeavors go well beyond curatorial and he is a writer as well as much more.

I have known David Gibson for over 15 years. David is an extremely knowledgeable and highly intelligent art consultant, art critic and writer, and Curator of Contemporary Art. I first met David back in 1999-2000 when he first started curating shows, and he has been working extensively in this realm since that time. David has shown my work in many exhibitions that he has curated in many different venues over the years. Some of the exhibitions that David curated were in New York City and others were outside of the New York area as well. He also wrote a catalog for a solo exhibition that I had at the University of Central Florida in Orlando in 2003, and has often promoted my work in various capacities.
I would highly recommend David for any art related work. He is extremely well-versed in the art lexicon of the contemporary art world.

I met David Gibson in the mid-2000’s through mutual friends and since I had an LA based
practice I contacted David for advice about getting into the cycles of the art world in NY. He was very kind on the phone and agreed to meet with me. Over coffee, in his distinctively generous way, David shared his thoughts and advice about how to work on that idea as a west coast artist. Later, in what became ongoing exchanges, he offered to include my artwork in an exhibition he was curating with Jennifer Junkermeier and which went on to be exhibited in 2 different venues. So David was then, as he continues to be now, a great ally, a notable source of specific knowledge and shared opportunities for serious arts practitioners and he cares about the broader context for all our work and knows how to how to help others in their projects.
