Welcome to the online Gallery of David Heskin.
Many unique galleries are required to display the multifaceted nature of this artwork.
Each body of work has its own distinct approach, though they all relate at their core.
Celestial Muse
Portraiture on a cosmic proportion, this series presents its subjects as humans as well as celestial phenomena, unifying personal and universal unfolding as a singular drama. Through seeing ourselves in the stars, and relating to the inspiration and luminosity of space, we may better express our own journeys on Earth. This series of paintings asks the question as to our terrestrial origin and relationships to other planetary bodies in exploration of lifeforms in the cosmos.
Synaesythesia
The name of this gallery informs that there is something being expressed that cannot be spoken. More than merely abstract imagery, these are imaginal realms which approach the impossible. Featuring innovative canvases in two and three dimensions, this is the cutting edge of a visionary approach to painting.
Environmentality
Impressions of experiences of natural beauty, often more from memory than from reference, these pieces conjure the magic of the elements and the architecture of eternity. The beauty of natural mineral pigments and copper authentically express the geological wonder of the atmospheric landscape.
