Biography
Biography
He lived in Brazil and Botswana before coming to Charlottesville in 1974, where he became a well-known figure in the local arts scene. He created the majority of his artwork at Biscuit Run, his studio and house, south of town. His media ranged from native Virginia soapstone, alabaster, stained glass, bronze, ceramic, fabric, metal, and concrete to esoteric media collected at auctions and in scrapyards. The monumental works of David Breeden stand before courthouses in Roanoke and Charlottesville, Virginia, as well as in front of and inside churches and at Universities such as Penn State at York and the University of Virginia. They adorn cityscapes in Pittsburgh, Charlottesville, Negril, (Jamaica) and St. They are made of soapstone, dalle de verre glass and fiberglass mortar. Breeden’s legacy is still on display at Biscuit Run’s gallery and in private collections around the world.
