Bio
David Lechner is known almost exclusively for what might be called his “family portraits.” Through tireless and seemingly effortless repetition Lechner draws and re-draws the names of important people in his life, each name eventually finding a spelling that will remain unchanged. These names are accompanied by deceptively simple stick portraits. These portraits, on close inspection, reveal the evolution of physical symbols and accurately capture personality traits that each subject exhibits. Lechner works most often in quick individual sketches, using any material at hand, eventually moving to mixed medium group portraits made through multiply layering the people in his life onto one surface: The Lechner Family.
