THE FIRST NOTICES ARE BEGINNING TO APPEAR ...

This one from Hugo Ruggieri of Milano Finanza:

"David Schoffman began his inauspicious artistic apprenticeship with the pious intent of an honest cobbler. His early work was greeted, however, by the jeers and growls of New York’s critical community. Those first fruits prompted Schoffman toward silence and exile.

"In 1979, he moved to Paris where he met Currado Malaspina. Though he found the mercurial artist sad and opaque, they formed an artistic alliance based on a shared vision of what they called “divided reckonings.”

“'Rattling Traffic' with its buckled diamonds of pigment and channels of complicated forms found its genesis during those gray years abroad. Those faint traces and summery of spells are now fully realized in this odd and important series now on view at DCA Fine Art in Santa Monica, California, USA. "
