David Merritt’s multimedia practice explores the common places of human and non-human systems. His process-driven, conceptually oriented work develops out of the material possibilities of drawing’s expanded field. His drawing, sculpture and multimedia works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, including the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, the Powerplant, the Textile Museum of Canada and TENT CBK, Rotterdam. A touring survey exhibition of mid-career work, shim/sham/shimmy, was circulated in 2010 by Museum London in collaboration with the Art Gallery of Hamilton. More recently his work was included the 2021 Biennale internationale du lin de Portneuf Qc. Merritt lives in London, Ontario, where he is Professor Emeritus at Western University.

His work is represented by Christie Contemporary, Toronto.
