About The Artwork

Acrylic on reverse canvas + miniature figurine. In recent years, the term Blood Moon has become popular when referring to total lunar eclipses. When the Earth eclipses a full Moon, the direct sunlight is blocked, but the sun's rays still light up the moon. This light, however, has travelled through the Earth's atmosphere first, and sometimes causes the totally eclipsed Moon to look an ominous blood red. The recent rare occurrence of four blood moons in a row (2014-2015) has been rare and some say prophetic, signifying profound change. The 'Painting Is Infinite' series takes its title from a David Lynch quote, when he stated that the restrictions of the film-making process do not apply to the field of painting and that indeed 'painting is infinite'. This series plays with the quote on a literal level; celebrating the mental faculty that enables man to be transported by Art, and how we choose to perceive ourselves within the universe as equal if not quite a part of it. Each work presents a platform for the contemplation of the universe by using a standard box canvas that has been subverted and redefined in order to function as a device through which to wonder at the mysteries and scale of the 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. 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."
