“The real purpose of painting is to give pleasure. My work is an expression of joy. Joy in color. Joy in gesture. Joy in the act of creating itself." - Artist David Skillicorn

About the Work

Skillicorn explores complex spatial and color relationships through the use of texture, organic line, and sensuous fields of color. In mixed media works on canvas, he creates sophisticated, intuitive paintings alive with surface texture, lush paint of vibrant colors in bold strokes over atmospheric passages.
