BIOGRAPHY David Henry Nobody Jr. is an interventionist/immersionist performance artist, sculptor and painter known for his diverse periods of work in many mediums, often involving his physical body. He has been active in the New York art world since the early 1990s, gaining attention for unconventional and controversial sociological performances, such as rolling out Red Carpets in NYC when no one one is coming, stalking Donald Trump and his one year notorious VIP party crashing as Alex Vonfurstenberg in 2000. Nobody's work frequently mixes art and life in a very personal way, to take on and live through complex subjects, such as the dark side of American dystopian consumerism. Often he creates his own brand of existential “man of a 1000 faces” shapeshifting "Fantastic Nobody" characters that perform and 'hack' reality or make sculptures and paintings. His recent work, characterized by a large body of self-portraits, inspired by the digital masks we wear on the internet, has gained significant attention on social media and in the press. David transitioned his work to the NFT tokenization community in 2021 and embraced the concept of art on the blockchain/ decentralization. He has produced a steady culture and market for his tokenized videos and photography. He can be found on Instagram as @davidhenrynobodyjr, where he has a substantial following. In yet another thematic twist David has more recently returned to the perennial subject of painting- producing dark and otherworldly black velvet paintings and performances as PaintoMime, the absurdist painter.
