David van der Linden
'Don't let the sun blast your shadow''
100 x 100 cm
Oil on canvas
framed in a black wooden frame (included in price) 115x115 cm
David van der Linden is a Dutch artist who studied at the ' Classical Academy of Arts' in Groningen. He also went to St Petersburg in Russia to study at the "Imperial Academy of Arts'. There he got overwhelmed by the possibilities to work with color in skin tones. He likes to paint in bright and warm colors to show the heat off skin tones in summer light or the cold tones of skin in winter light. He mostly paints young boys during their period of 'becoming a man'. The wondering about their bodies and the bodies of others. Boys can be beautiful and proud, they also can be beautiful and unsure about who they are and what they want to show off themselves.
The title is from the Bowie song 'Rock 'n Roll Suicide'.
When the sun is on its brightest the shadow is on its darkest. That's what the artist likes to show in this painting. Maybe in real life it is exactly the same.
In his paintings David tells a story, his own story portrayed by boys who are on the turning point from childhood to adolescence. The titles of the paintings are titles of David Bowie's songs. For David, Bowie's songs during the period when he himself was the age of the models he now paints were 'daily fare'. The music and lyrics are often about making your own choices, being yourself, being 'different' or shaping yourself the way you want and not the way others would like you.
'Nude' in David's paintings is not only 'a hymn to youth' but also the equivalent of 'being yourself and showing who you are too'. The attitude, gaze and composition in the work together tell the story that the viewer can fill in himself.
In addition to the paintings in which the youth plays a role, David paints 'movement'. The racing bike is central to this. It is no coincidence that this is what David prefers to do for some time every day in addition to his work in the gallery and painting.
14 Paintings by David were published in 'Your Daily Male' in 2019 and 2020. An International calendar in which art with men in the leading role is central. Paintings by David are now in collections all over the world.
