David Breuer-Weil (British, b.1965) is an Abstract Figurative painter and sculptor. He makes spiritually and psychologically charged paintings that touch on themes of existentialism and the human condition. His paintings are usually monumental, as are many of his sculptures.

Breuer-Weil studied art under his father, who was also a painter. He attended the Central Saint Martin’s School of Art in 1985. While there, he studied under Shelley Faussett, who was one of Henry Moore’s studio assistants. He then studied English literature at Clare College, Cambridge University. He started training in different departments at Sotheby’s in the late 1980s, and landed a role as the head of the department of Modern Art and Judaica in Israel from 1991 to 1994. During his time in Israel, he worked on paintings inspired by the local palette; he exhibited these works at Engel Gallery in Tel-Aviv. The artist is well-known for his Project series of paintings, which vary in size and can be as large as 12 feet long.

Project 1 was first exhibited at The Roundhouse in London in 2001. Breuer-Weil went on to create three other Project series, which were exhibited at The Bargehouse and the Ben Uri Museum. From 2007 to 2011, he worked on Project 4. The series contains 80 paintings and 200 drawings. The artist’s sculpture work is also notable. One of his most well-known works, Visitor I, was first exhibited in 2010 at Chatsworth House. It was later cast in 2012 and installed atLily Pond in Golder’s Hill Park.
