Description
A luminous core erupts from a dense thicket of vegetation. This oil painting captures a fleeting moment of natural brilliance. The composition collapses the distance between the viewer and the earth. It transforms a simple patch of ground into a cinematic event.
Light does not merely hit the surface. It emanates from within the layers of paint. This technique creates a glow reminiscent of stained glass or a digital screen. The boundary between the organic and the synthetic blurs.
The artist utilizes successive applications of opaque and translucent pigments. Paint is added and removed to build depth. This process allows the atmospheric light to become a structural element of the artwork.
Deep greens and earthy browns frame the central radiance. Sharp, rhythmic strokes define the blades of grass. The contrast between the dark periphery and the brilliant center directs the eye inward. It evokes the feeling of a remote landscape observed with intense proximity. The result is a tension between enclosure and expanse, focusing on the intricate textures of the forest floor.
Presentation
David Kaarsemaker holds a BFA from Concordia University and an MFA from the University of Ottawa. He was a finalist in the 2025 Salt Spring National Art Prize and the 2017 RBC Painting Competition. His work is included in the collections of Global Affairs Canada, the City of Ottawa, the City of St John's, The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery, and the Newfoundland Provincial Art Bank. He has participated in group exhibitions at the National Gallery of Canada, The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery, Art Mûr, and Bau-Xi Gallery and had solo exhibitions at de Montigny Contemporary, Carleton University Art Gallery, Karsh-Masson Gallery, Galerie Montcalm, and Christina Parker Gallery. Kaarsemaker lives in Victoria, B.C.
Developed through extended walks in remote landscapes, David Kaarsemaker's paintings bring distant vistas into dialogue with close observation, collapsing proximity and expanse, enclosure and horizon.
His paintings are made through successive layers of opaque and translucent applications, with paint added and removed at each stage, allowing light to emanate from within the image itself. Referencing both stained glass and LCD screens, the resulting glow hovers between natural and synthetic registers, situating perception at a threshold where the atmospheric becomes structural.
