David Nipo: I Returned, and Saw under the Sun

David Nipo’s paintings are consciously linked with classical art. He constructs them with meticulous composition, a fascinating play with symmetry, chiaroscuro and symbolic concepts. Nipo deals with the act of painting itself, and issues of figurative-realist painting are present throughout his oeuvre. Observation serves him as a starting point for realist painting that is subject to examining concrete reality and applying it onto the canvas.
