The Beauty of New Beginnings displays another Uessem classic that has come up lately in the artists’ œvre. The enchanted flower paintings represent a combination of a his classical Mickey Mouse mask and an organic masking.
The masking is a main theme in the art of David Uessem. It reminds us that we all mask ourselves - to hide parts of ourselves or to protect us from the outer world.
Over the past few years, this theme has gained increasing importance in his work and has taken on quite eccentric traits, with David Uessem distilling out completely independent forms and depicting them in brilliant foil, sparkling gem stones or eclectic mirrored glass.
