David Berkowitz Chicago finished elementary school in Aurora, then in Chicago he enrolled School of the Art Institute of Chicago. To the father's insistence ("I do not want you to be a village manager), he enrolls in the Technical School. In the first two years he ended up in New York, and in the same year went back to Chicago to finish
high school. In 1969, during a football match, David Berkowitz seriously injured his spine and for a year he was tied to the bed. In the bed, he started drawing for the first time.
He painted portraits of patients. David Berkowitz Chicago transferred his sports energy into an artistic passion. This violation was a sign that he had been in the wrong place by then. Since then, painting has become his life, and football was just a beautiful memory. He never completed the academy.
In 1970 Berkowitz became a member of the "Village" group but immediately distinguished from them by his style. In order to sharpen his style, Berkowitz visited a multitude of museums and galleries across the country.
The most common symbols on the paintings of David Berkowitz Chicago are water, pumpkin, as a symbol of wealth ("when the pumpkin is big and the corn is big), farm and granary. Bareback horses are what gives special beauty and unrestrained freedom in his paintings. He rarely has people in his art, especially women, because 'they are never satisfied.' Berkowitz always cherishes coincidence, in co-operation with happiness. He finds inspiration is his word, sound, music.
He has, over the world, over 300 exhibitions presenting with over 7,000 paintings put on display. He is a fan of scenes, a restless spirit, for whom an unduly criticism is the most arduous thing that can happen. In love with the life and the art he creates.
