David's own special sauce worked into that formidable mix is what makes his works unique — enamel is assertive, weighty, and as he describes it, increasingly risky when poured in layers. The interplay of colors is enhanced by the unfamiliar and irregular densities of enamel on canvas. His accumulated layers of color and influence belie a weighty intellectual investigation of painting via practice, but one that's ripe with pleasure and beauty.
