British Contemporary Artist: David Schofield

Painting: The Delivery

'The Delivery' shows twelve lighthouses, eleven striped and one black, aboard a fishing boat. As in Read more

many of David Schofield's paintings, the boat appears to be floating in space and have no point of reference. In this way Schofield plays with our ideas of imagination and reality.

Lighthouses are a recurrent theme as symbols of safety within Schofield's paintings. The perception of safety and what constitutes a saviour is explored in much of David's work. On closer inspection the lighthouses are often subverted or challenged by details such as being placed out of context, on a boat in this case.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery David Schofield has exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the David Schofield artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
