Artist Statement
David Declan Sheahan is a self-taught, outsider, mostly abstract artist whose work transcends traditional boundaries. Primarily working with acrylic paints on paper, David employs unconventional methods to create his art, often eschewing the brush in favour of more experimental tools. His innovative approach includes the use of spray paints to craft fine art images, as well as exploring the realms of digital art, sketching, and nature photography.
David’s artistic journey is deeply rooted in a passion for all things visually stimulating. His creative process is enriched by frequent gallery visits, an avid interest in colour theory, and a continuous exploration of both modern and classical techniques. Through his diverse body of work, David seeks to evoke emotion, provoke thought, and challenge perceptions, inviting viewers to experience the world through his unique lens and welcomes their perspectives.
