David Strome is a fine art painter living in Brooklyn, New York. The work presented here is a sampling of his 50/50 series, which has been ongoing for more than 15 years. Each painting is 50% black. This simple, self-imposed principle is the defining element in the body of work which began in 1991 and continues today.
