Dallas College presents Belongings, a solo exhibition by Houston-based artist David Delgado. Bringing together paintings and sculptural works, the exhibition explores how nostalgia, scarcity, and value intersect in contemporary culture.
The series grew out of Delgado’s habit of browsing eBay, where he became fascinated by overlooked objects that some discard, but others collect. Through painting and form, he reimagines these items to examine the tension between personal attachment and market value, inviting viewers to reconsider how worth, desire, and cultural meaning are constructed.
Delgado earned a BFA in Studio Art (sculpture) from the University of Houston and has worked as an illustrator and in his family’s bronze foundry. He now teaches K–6 students through arts education organizations such as MECA.
