The need to feel a strong personal connection
to their subjects is evident throughout the groups’ work. David Poxon’s
paintings of abandoned objects are visually stunning and denote a past – a
hidden story of work and toil. This is a
recurring theme in his work, whether it’s a piece of machinery, a lock, a door,
sometimes a mountain of old metal and broken tools, that are all in a state of
reclamation by nature. What once were things created and used by man, then
discarded, become objects of adornment.
When a painting works there is a resonance, which stretches beyond
both subject and picture plane, reaching out to the viewer and transcending a
mere visual experience. To be able to convey something of the 'real' of my
subjects, which are the commonplace, the overlooked, the places and work things
of mankind, is a powerful and stimulating experience, a joyful and respectful
thing.
