About The Artwork

As featured in John Moores 2014. The paradox of the astronaut suit and the domestic setting creates a tension suggesting a plurality of narratives. A coalescence of implications obscure the balance between the realistic and the romantic. This juxtaposition of the normative, of the ordinary, and of the domestic environment plays against the ultimate pioneering gesture embodied within the reference to space travel. The painting remains a hymn to the infinite freedom of the imagination, despite the restraints of the mundane, real world. It acknowledges impending mid-life, and the first sobering realisation of mortality that this knowledge can bring, whilst including an assessment of achievements, or lack thereof - the pangs of what might have been.

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. www.davidom.com "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."
