ABOUT the WORK
DAVID’S WORK IS CHARACTERISED BY INTENSE COLOURS, STRONG CONTRASTS, CRYPTIC MARKINGS AND A DISTINCTIVE INTERPLAY BETWEEN SPONTANEITY AND INTENTION – OFTEN GIVING RISE TO SURREAL WORLDS INHABITED BY OTHERWORLDLY FIGURES. AS A COLOURIST, HE DELIBERATELY EMPLOYS THE POWER OF COLOUR TO CREATE EMOTIONAL DEPTH AND VISUAL TENSION. BENEATH THE SURFACE, HIS PAINTINGS SUBTLY AND ENIGMATICALLY ADDRESS POLITICAL AND SOCIAL THEMES, INVITING DEEPER ENGAGEMENT.
DAVID’S WORKS CHALLENGE, PROVOKE AND INVITE REFLECTION – THEY MAY UNSETTLE, DISTURB OR SIMPLY LEAD THE VIEWER INTO A DREAMLIKE STATE. HIS PAINTING OPERATES IN THE SPACE BETWEEN BEAUTY AND DISCOMFORT, BETWEEN ORDER AND CHAOS – ALWAYS ENCOURAGING A GAZE BEYOND THE SURFACE OF COLOUR AND FORM.
