About this artwork
What is omitted becomes as important as what remains.
This principle lies at the heart of my approach and has become increasingly central to the intention and direction of my current work. The ABSENCES series represents my latest exploration within an ongoing journey towards minimalist abstraction. With Absences V, I continue to distil the visual language of the work, reducing it to a limited palette and a restrained vocabulary of forms.
Within… this reduced field, the remaining elements interact to generate tension, movement, and a sense of dynamic equilibrium. Their presence is intensified by the expansive emptiness that surrounds them. What is absent is not merely a void; it becomes an active and essential component of the composition, shaping the way the visible forms are perceived and experienced.
There is an inherent sense of unrest within the individual forms, set against the stillness and apparent calm of the white expanse.

« I'm striving to capture impact and subtlety in my abstract paintings. They are light and dreamlike, yet grounded. My approach is minimalistic, I seek a dynamic tension between raw and refined. »
David Drain is a Scottish artist, living in the South of Germany close to the Swiss border and the beautiful art city Basel. He exhibits regularly in galleries and art fairs across Europe and Switzerland. Creating abstract artworks has become a natural language for David, a means of expression, a way of revealing fine layers of meaning, of mystery held within form and texture, line and hue.
