David Berkowitz Chicago’s Biography

David Berkowitz Chicago is a naïve art painter, who has presented his artworks to over 300 exhibitions over the world.
He finished elementary school in Aurora. Later, Berkowitz enrolled in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
This naïve artist became aware of his passion after suffering a serious spine injury during a football match in 1969. While tied to the bed, he started painting.
That event made him realize that painting was his true profession and that he will dedicate his life to the art.
David Berkowitz Chicago became a member of the group of artists named “Village” in 1970. Immediately, this skilled painter distinguished from the other painters of the group. His peculiar style, characterized by elements of water, pumpkin, as a symbol of wealth ("when the pumpkin is big and the corn is big), farm, granary, and bareback horses make him stand out. Berkowitz’s paintings are easily recognizable.
