Interview
"Boardman 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."
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.
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.
