David Sequeira was born New Delhi, India, and lives and works in Melbourne.
Sequeira’s studio practice focusses on the use of colour and geometry in the creation of contemplative experiences. Much of his practice can be understood as an inquiry into the nature and resonance of abstraction. Curatorship — articulating the intersections between objects, time, place and space — is an important aspect of his art practice.
Major solo exhibitions of Sequeira’s work have been shown at University of NSW Galleries (History & Infinity, 2023), Bunjil Place Gallery (All the things I should have said that I never said, 2022), Nature Morte Gallery, New Delhi (All I want is here, 2007, Without you I’m nothing 2009), John Curtin Gallery, Perth; University of Queensland Art Museum (Eternal Rhythms, selected works 1996-2006, 2006/2007) and Art Gallery of NSW (David Sequeira Projects, 2001). His work has been featured in ARoS, Aarhus Art Museum Denmark (Sky Gazing, 2024), The National 4: New Australian Art NOW at the Art Gallery of NSW (2023), the TarraWarra Biennial (ua usiusi faʻavaʻasavili, 2023), Drill Hall Gallery, Canberra (Colour Music, 2014) and Canberra Museum and Art Gallery (Pulse, 2014).
