David Surman
David Surman is an artist known for his figurative works that feature striking kinetic compositions of animal, plant and human forms. Surman uses figurative forms, executed in a manner that appears easy and immediate.
His goal is to create a structure for thought and feeling that is both universal and specific and in recent years he has become increasingly interested in the projection of human experience onto the natural world. David employs elements of pathetic fallacy and cartoon form in a calculated way to imbue figures with both sincerity and irony, liveliness and psychology, whilst also seeking to call into question the hierarchies of taste and value that structure both art and our view of the natural world.
