David Datuna (Georgian: დეივიდ დათუნა; February 10, 1974 – May 23, 2022) was a Georgian-born American artist who lived in New York City. His Viewpoint of Millions series explores the sources and meaning of cultural identity from different points of view.
Datuna's signature technique in Viewpoint of Millions is a network of positive and negative optical lenses suspended over a large-scale layered, collaged and painted image. The mixed media palette often includes photography, newspaper articles, magazine clippings, paint, and color. The prismatic surface both hides and reveals the work below, while the lenses symbolize individual identity, illusion, perception, fragmentation, and unification. Portraits, flags and icons are recurring themes within the Viewpoint of Millions series.
Datuna's works have been exhibited in Europe, Russia, China, and the United States.
