David Post paints scenes of life, of the world people live in: the cozy reading corners, the view from the window, the thoughtful moments no one is supposed to see. His artistic mission has always been to transform the ordinary of our world into the extraordinary of art. In this current body of work, Post expands upon his basic creative tenet, experimenting more fully with the possibilities of abstraction and representation. In his figural works, Post balances the shorthand rendering of contemporaneous artists with the expressive, narrative concerns of the Old Masters—centering himself somewhere between the strictly compositional and the highly evocative. He paints “portraits” that are alive, expressive, passionate and individual, demanding psychological as well as aesthetic consideration.

These new works make one fact very clear: David Post has become a powerful storyteller, superseding what is ordinary about existence with imagination, emotion and acrylic paint.
