David Stumpp

Germany

David Stumpp's oeuvre comprises transient impressions that reflect the ever-changing nature of the world. He employs an aesthetic that is characterised by a high level of intensity, combined with a sophisticated and subtle nuance.
The works are characterised by a subtle and atmospheric mood. The landscape is subject to constant change, particularly evident in the subtle alterations in light that occur with the changing seasons. This dynamic transformation, whereby light constantly alters the world, is particularly evident in the artist's paintings.
The immediate vicinity of Lake Constance serves as a source of inspiration for David Stumpp's artistic exploration of watercolour, which finds expression in a series of works.
The transparency and spontaneity of the watercolour medium permit the creation of effects that are occasionally beyond the control of the artist. This unpredictability represents a particular source of fascination for Stumpp, who finds it an intriguing aspect of the medium. Despite the eye's familiarity with the prevailing light conditions, the perceived forms and structures undergo a transformation in accordance with the shifting light.
As part of the creative process, David Stumpp transforms the internalised space, thereby creating a new and unmistakable expression.
