David C Morton is a Berlin-based artist working in monochrome digital collage. His practice combines hand-made surfaces - marbling, pigment, ink, painting, and drawing, with photographic fragments of the human figure.
Morton's practice moves between mediums and back again. Best known for his monochrome collage work, his marbled, warped and torn aesthetic centres on a connection to humanity, material experimentation and creation through destruction. Photographic imagery is broken down through painting, drawing, and physical mark-making, then reassembled digitally - a cycle of construction, deconstruction, and reinvention that gives each work its weathered, layered quality.
Morton holds a Bachelor of Visual Communication Design (Honours) from Monash University in Melbourne, and was awarded First Place in the Experimental Category at the Tokyo Type Directors Prize in 2015.
His work has been exhibited across Berlin, Melbourne, and London, with brand collaborations including Nike alongside album and release artwork commissions.
