ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Behind the scenes of the canvas. Tuning into universe, contemplating the scale of the cosmos. For the last 3 years David has often focused on paintings exploring outer space, creating works that are fueled by a sense of wonder at the theories of cosmological physics. The 'Painting is Infinite' series plays on a quote from David Lynch which he made shortly after quitting film-making. The paintings make available a platform for contemplating the cosmos. They celebrate man's ability to be transported by Art and are an homage to man's desire to find the answers; "Man must rise above the Earth—to the top of the atmosphere and beyond—for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives" — Socrates. 'I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space' Shakespeare, Hamlet Act 2 Scene 2, Hamlet may have meant that although we human beings are very limited physically, out minds are free to explore the whole universe.

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."
