David Quinn —
David Quinn works across multiple surfaces at once, composing abstract pieces in a regular format of 8 x 5 inches – the size of his sketchbook he used when he was a student. The resulting pieces appear as visual haikus, sharing a universal form and offering endlessly variable imagery; each a unique piece, yet part of a wider whole. The familiar format allows Quinn to focus entirely on the painting itself, moving beyond conscious thought to reach an instinctive, meditative state, where the understated, multilayered surfaces of his works arise.
