David Surman (b. 1981 / UK)
David Surman (b. 1981) is an artist based in London. He studied animation film at Newport Film School (2002) and film studies at the University of Warwick (2004) Working primarily in painting and drawing, he has established an international reputation for his figurative works that feature striking kinetic compositions of animal, plant and human forms. Surman's work celebrates the vitality of its subjects and painting as a medium. Recent solo exhibitions include: Portraits of a Wild Family, SENS Gallery, Hong Kong (2022), Carousel, Tinimini Room, Dordrecht (2022), Fairy Painting, Sim Smith, London (2021).
David Surman's artwork captures the viewer's attention with its energetic brushstrokes, vivid colors, and crisp textures. Cute but not overdone, humorous but not serious, his expressionistic paintings of the natural world are a perfect fit for THEO, a gallery that strives for diversity, as they carry a meaning that hasn't been shown before, yet still speak to the viewer's intuitive gaze.
In addition, he projects human experience onto the natural world in a variety of ways, creating works that combine simplicity and profundity, further expanding the dimensions of communication and understanding. This will makes him an artist who can create open harmony between art artists and collectors, which is what GALLERY THEO aims for.
