The impressive work of Cheshire-based Artist, Musician
& published Illustrator,
David Boardman,
uses the beauty of movement in all its myriad forms as
its' main inspiration. The sense of kinetic energy
that is produced from what is, essentially, an attempt
to convey the intangible in two dimensions, is
powerful and dynamic.
Boardman takes his lead from 'Futurist' painters like
Duchamp and Severini and then journeys towards
contemporary Graphic Design, via Pop Art. He uses text in
his complex composition that is not merely superimposed,
but embeds itself, actually facilitating the
deconstruction of the image. It is this deconstruction
that gives his paintings their energy- a kind of static
buzz for the retina. With such an energetic visual
effect, it is only natural that the subject of his
paintings should be the act of movement. So, the figures
he portrays are all in the middle of a sporting
endeavour, or something equally dynamic.
Having featured in several group shows at Needhams
Restaurant over the last few years, we are pleased to
present this solo exhibition, showing a large collection
of David's brilliant paintings, sketches and prints.
