In the late 90s he participated in the exhibition of students of Sopko’s atelier. The output of this exhibition was a project called "Punch cut". Dalibor David got rank to the context of contemporary paintings by exhibitions 4 x 1 (Gallery VŠUP, Prague, 2002) and Resetting / Other ways to Eternity (GHMP – Municipal Library of Prague, Prague, 2007-08). In 2011, David exhibited together with Jiří Sopko in Gallery Sýpka (Valašské Meziříčí). At the beginning of 2016, the Regional Gallery Vysočina in Jihlava organised a solo exhibition for him. Dalibor David is a distinctive colourist of contemporary Czech painting.
The theme of exhibition „Today I stay at home” shows the author's intense relationship to objects, that help to create intimacy of home; and also the issues of culture clothing as a form of protection, concealment and mimicry against the surroundings. Clothing can be figuratively considered as a sort of "mobile hideout" or "background" for body of the individual and his psychological "well-being". The type and colour of clothing may reveal human nature or equally can just completely hide it.
The curator of the exhibition is Peter Vaňous.
