A vibrant celebration of the everyday, 'Still Life' sees David Larwill subvert a classic art historical genre with his signature primal energy and rebellious, neo-expressionist verve. While traditional still lifes evoke quiet contemplation, Larwill transforms the subject into a cosmic, animated playground. A vase of sunflowers bursting with golden, stylized heads shares the field with a constellation of iconic Larwill motifs: whimsical birds, floating celestial bodies, a crown-wearing figure, and his characteristic tribal-like masks and hands. Every inch of the rich blue picture plane hums with the childlike wonder and raw, intuitive mark-making that defined his career.
