Initially rising to prominence under the moniker « The Pope of Fat, » David Gouny first captured public attention through his street art interventions.

His signature « fat ladies, » pasted across urban landscapes, challenged traditional aesthetics and reclaimed public space.

This exploration evolved into a series of sculptural and conceptual works featuring everyday objects « infected » by a speculative « fat virus, » a commentary on consumption and physical transformation.

In his more recent work, Gouny has shifted his focus toward the political landscape.

In response to the growing authoritarianism observed within Western democracies, his practice has transitioned into a rigorous physical and structural autopsy of authority.

Through this deconstructive lens, he examines the mechanisms of power, stripping back the layers of institutional control to reveal their underlying anatomy.
