Selected for; John Moores Painting Prize 14, Lynn Painter-Stainers 15. Pre-selected for; Royal Society of British Artists 15, BP Portrait Award 15. David Ohm's skyscapes and telescopes communicate a huge sense of scale. Observatories ogle upwards like giant eyeballs, and miniature figurines gaze outwards through trompe d'oiel windows - created by the frame that stretches the canvas. Showing us the back of the canvas in this way suggests that the image lies somewhere in the infinite yonder. There is a sense of dignified Zen-like detachment to much of David Ohm's work, many of his compositions function through minimalism and juxtaposition clarified through studious and critical practice. At the core of his work oscillates a pure sense of wonder alternating with a cold nihilism. His art often interacts with space science and astronomy whilst incorporating a metaphysical subtext that enables subject matter to assume new (often existential) symbolic meanings.

The work of David O’Malley (BA)Hons has featured in the prestigious John Moores Painting Prize, Royal Academy of Arts, Cork Street, Sky Arts, Discerning Eye, Mall Galleries amongst a multitide of other exhibitions. His work been selling internationally 2008. His paintings The artist originates from the coast of Lancashire, studied Fine Art in the Northeast of England, before moving to London where he remained for numerous years. Prior to the pandemic, he left the capital for County Durham. "Essentially I am drawn to the power of vastness and the context of the wider picture; the compelling journey from that which is constricted within, to the cusp of the infinite. An existential dialectic may be detected from ruminations on the metaphysical aspects of time and space. I seek to instil a pure sense of wonder in my work intended to guide the viewer to tap into the sublime, celebrating the mental faculty that enables man to be transported by Art. I am particularly fond of a David Lynch quote postulating that the restrictions of the film making process do not apply to the field of painting and that indeed ‘painting is infinite’. The ultimately levelling template of the void is inherent at the core of everything i make."
