About this artwork
Original painting in oil and acrylic on canvas.
"Ultimately my paintings are concerned with humanity amidst the levelling context of the universe. After seeing Earth from space astronauts often talk of a perspective-altering experience described as the 'Overview Effect'. This phenomenon produces a cognitive shift of awareness derived from a profound feeling of awe producing a unifying sense of inter-connectivity with the planet and all life upon… it. In ancient times Socrates wrote that "Man must rise above the Earth—to the top of the atmosphere and beyond—for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives”. My Spacewalk paintings promote a peaceful sense of zen, in an acceptance of the human condition, recognising ourselves as part of the fabric of the universe - humans exist as a point in the universe where it becomes conscious of itself."

« 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. »
David Om is an exciting British artist whose work has been widely exhibited throughout the UK. Exploring a range of themes including the intensity of urban life, the info-chatter of the internet age and the coexistence of nihilism and wonder, he creates striking paintings marked by minimalist compositions and masterful manipulation of scale and perspective.
