DAVID PEARCE<br />

My working practice is driven by a desire to<br />

create in a fresh and innocent way, capturing<br />

that zest and excitement of experiencing<br />

something new for the first time. This group of<br />

paintings are a snapshot of the different<br />

approaches I employ, whether figurative or<br />

abstract.<br />

The physicality of a painting as an object<br />

fascinates me. The art is not just in the image.<br />

The work needs to have it’s own unique identity<br />

and be compelling enough to exist by itself.<br />

Imparting inanimate objects (tractors, chairs,<br />

houses or gestural marks) with personality<br />

allows me to explore the viscosity of paint along<br />

with colour and surface in a free and unhindered<br />

way. These aspects are a continual source of<br />

intrigue, enabling the work to remain raw,<br />

evolving and captivating for me (and hopefully<br />

for others!)
