- True_(artist) abstract "TRUE, born David John Riggins (b. 1968, Los Angeles, CA.) is an American artist / designer of German-Russian, African-American, and Blackfoot descent who lives and works in New York City. He began using the word “TRUE” in place of his birth name in the mid-1990s. His work incorporates elements of illustration, character design, and graphic design.He began his professional art career in the late 1980s as a set painter for Roger Corman Studios in Venice Beach, CA. He moved to New York in 1991 to study at Sarah Lawrence College, and then transferred to The Art School of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art (BFA, 1996). He first gained prominence for a series of non-permissional site-specific “guerrilla” installations on the streets of Los Angeles and New York City, and in NYC’s subway system (1993–1994), which were done under the pseudonym “str8up” (pronounced “straight up”). The impetus for these projects was the belief that the “Art World” was unnecessarily ethnocentric and elitist, and that greater meaning could be infused into a work by taking a populist approach.His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA), in Brooklyn, NY, Restoration Plaza in Brooklyn, NY, and the Centro Cultural de Belém, in Lisbon, Portugal, as part of the Experimentadesign Bienal de Lisboa. He has taught or spoken about art, new media, and design at institutions such as The Cooper Union, The New School University, Parsons The New School for Design, The Pratt Institute, Rhode Island School of Design, and Sarah Lawrence College.He has been interviewed and / or had his work featured in: All Things Considered (National Public Radio); Arc Design Magazine (Brasil) (discusses TRUE’s work in the Lisbon Biennial); AREA (a Phaidon design book that named TRUE as one of 100 of the world’s “most innovative emerging graphic designers”); BBC-TV (UK); Crain’s New York Business; Eye Magazine (in which Stefan Sagmeister refers to TRUE’s subway stickers as “the one piece of graphic design that truly influenced me”); GalleryBeat (TV); How Design Magazine; I.D. Magazine (who named TRUE as one of the “I.D. Forty” [40 of the world’s “leading design innovators”]); Los Angeles Times; M.A.P. Magazine (Australia); Manhattan File Magazine,; Men’s Club Magazine (Japan); Metropolis Magazine (who named TRUE as a “rising star of the new millennium”); New York Daily News; New York Magazine,; New York Times; Pix Magazine; The Practical Handbook for the Emerging Artist; Sagmeister: Made You Look,; Surface Magazine; TED Talks; Time Out New York; The Village Voice, and others. An educational CD-ROM video game for which TRUE did illustration, animation, and UI design won the top award, the “Palm d’Or,” at the MILIA Interactive Conference in Cannes, France.He has lived in Stuyvesant Heights, Brooklyn, since 1999, where he has received numerous public art commissions, and co-organizes a free annual children’s film festival called The KIDflix Film Fest of Bed-Stuy.".
