David Medella has distinguished himself internationally as a major innovator of the avant-garde. Over the last forty years his work has embraced a multitude of enquires and enthusiasms, forms and formats, to express a singular yet deeply coherent vision of the world...evolving his own art which strives towards the emergence of a new kind of transitional and polymorphic culture." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
