The painting is a paradox as it represents both adversity and courage, just as shadow cannot exist without light, nor day without night, both are intertwined in this constant love affair of duplicity and salvation.

About The Artwork

"La Obsѐsion" by David Scholes is a profound exploration of human emotion and inner turmoil through the lens of abstract realism. The painting encapsulates a deeply personal exploration of the psyche, touching upon themes of fear, transformation, and self-redemption. It invites viewers to delve into the complex interplay of inner turmoil and self-discovery, presenting a compelling narrative through the stark contrast of black and white on canvas. The abstraction within the piece invites viewers to reflect on the universality of human suffering and the complexities of the mind. The splashes of paint symbolize the unpredictable and predictable nature of life, highlighting how our actions and circumstances can splatter and splinter, leaving us grappling for stability and understanding. The profound impact of "La Obsѐsion" is further exemplified by the overwhelming response it received on social media, resonating with hundreds of thousands of individuals. This underscores the universal language of emotion that the artwork speaks, transcending boundaries and touching the collective consciousness. It serves as a poignant reminder of the depth and complexity of human feelings, compelling us to delve deeper into our own emotional landscapes and contemplate the intricacies of the human condition.

David L Scholes takes a unique approach to art that engages with contemporary debates. His work is full of references and ideas that are deeply integrated into the composition of the piece and may be missed by those who don't take the time to fully explore the work. His paintings are self-referential, but still aesthetically pleasing, and are firmly rooted in the history of modernism. They have been exhibited in London and Switzerland and have received praise from international art publications. Alongside famous artists Vincent Van Gogh and Edvard Munch, Scholes has been featured in a comparative study and is admired by many artists and students. His painting "La Obsesión" gained recognition on national and international social media platforms. “My approach to art is grounded in the philosophy of abstract realism, where I intricately blend the intricacies of realistic portrayal with the liberating essence of abstract expressionism. By seamlessly navigating through a diverse spectrum of genres, including contemporary, mixed media, and abstract, I continuously challenge the conventional norms of artistic expression, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is deemed possible within the realm of visual representation. In every stroke, every layer, and every texture, I am driven by a profound motivation to evoke a visceral response from my audience, to create a dialogue that transcends the confines of language and cultural barriers. Through the harmonious fusion of colours and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, I seek to create an immersive experience that prompts introspection and emotional resonance, inviting the viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and introspection”.
