About this artwork
Sheldon's ‘art historical’ pieces are 'purely painted' works, in the sense, that as a painter his only wish is to create paintings of vitality and substance. By using paintings from Art History that are dear to his heart, Sheldon attempts to not only pay homage to the originals, but to find his own place and identity in that relationship - to confront and release the mythos.
"The best Painting is metaphysical in nature, questioning the nature
and… meaning of one's existence. In that regard, nothing is off-limits as far
as subject matter and approach is concerned in that exploration."

« My goals in art-making are exploring the nature of who I am, and my relationship to the world. »
At age nine, American painter and sculptor David Sheldon was hospital bound after a major operation and was given his first oil-painting kit- he hasn't stopped making art since. The theme of Sheldon's sculpture work revolves around the question, "Who am I, and what is my relationship to the Infinite?" Regarding his paintings, Sheldon works intuitively, and likes to constantly question his methods. Sheldon't futuristic steel sculptures and abstract expressionist oil paintings are fluid, bright, and intriguing.
