Recently, David has tried to imbue his paintings with a sense of positivity, a sense of the moment, coupled with a rhythm of colour and form. i am always thrilled by the unintended consequences of one colour elbowing against another, and he is a big proponent of learning from ones mistakes, as mistakes seem intrinsically linked to progress. he is still very much enamoured of a few of the abstract expressionists, Joan Mitchell and Robert Motherwell, as well as a whole fleet of other truly inspirational artists, ranging from Vincent Van Gogh to Luc Tuymans. david very much enjoy paintings and drawing, and would have to put himself in the category of people who do what they love for a living, and he is absurdly grateful for this.
