David Webster (American 1947) is a painter whose work explores the human body through imagery derived from X-rays, microscopic structures, and medical illustrations. Born in Wadsworth, Ohio, he earned a BFA from Miami University and an MFA from Yale University. Webster’s paintings investigate the relationship between science and perception, often focusing on a different anatomical system each year. Drawing parallels between cellular structures and the natural world, his work suggests that the complexity of the universe can be discovered within the human body itself.
