The undeniably impressive work of Cheshire-based Artist, Musician & published Illustrator, David Boardman, employs the beauty of movement in all its myriad forms as its' main inspiration. The sense of kinetic energy that David produces from what is, essentially, an attempt to convey the intangible in two dimensions, is powerful, dynamic & exceptional.
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.
