David Correa

Blending historical influence with contemporary performance, Miami-born artist David Correa reinterprets Realist traditions through the body. He draws from Courbet’s rejection of academic norms and Caillebotte’s depictions of laborers, creating physically demanding performances where identity is secondary to function. Through characters he invents in his performances, Correa questions the value assigned to human labor, positioning his practice as a modern evolution of resistance-based art.
