Fueled by the constant search for and consumption of that which makes us complete; human beings spend the majority of their lives struggling to survive, strive, succeed and find answers to their existential quest. These answers come in many forms, religion, full time jobs, children, addictions, fitness, meditation, relationships…the list goes on and translates into every language and culture.

“I see a dual-characteristic in all of us; the momentary instinct versus a conscious foresight; something like living-in-the-moment, while making a ten-year plan. We react to our environment and conditions, while formulating ideas about how to prepare for the future. Our daily grind consumed with reactions, sensations and momentary conclusions. These conclusions feed us and fill the void; the decisions we make, act as stopping points on a larger, ever growing map.

‘All You’ll Ever Need’ is a false prophesy; an advertisement, designed to entice an audience into believing there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but there is no pot of gold, only a rainbow. The exhibition attempts to highlight the chaos and contradictions we deal with, juggling what we need and what we want, the chaos of the moment set against the choices of the bigger picture.”

The artworks reflect a child-like view of an often dark place: the modern world. Deliberately naïve and flattened, mimicking the visual language of board games, maps, anatomical studies and automatic doodles.

Mixing multiple influences and collections of received messages, image bites, image burns, and the after-glow of both the trivial and the significant. Sitting somewhere between abstraction, pop and surrealism, the exhibition presents a catalogue of older and recent works, all studies of the Human Condition.


Author of "Street Knowledge" - King Adz - had this to say about David's work:

"As my life now revolves around travel, talent, and writing, not necessarily in that order, David's work fits snugly in there. I guess creativity is fueled by expanding the mind and my mind is often blown by the shit I come across in the most unexpected places, like Barnet for instance - where David has his studio.

My own work with words is often influenced by the other stuff out there like paint on canvas or moving images on whatever digital medium is en vogue, and just as I express myself through the books I am lucky enough to get published, David's work seem to be leading us on an adventure through other mediums - like words, culture, travel - and this I applaud.

I'm not working with any artists anymore as it's time to promote my own work, but for this man and this show I will gladly make an exception. David's work is unique and this shines through with ALL YOU'LL EVER NEED. Peace+Love King Adz"
