David McCauley - Artist Statement

Through the use of acrylic paint, graphite, charcoal, and mixed media, I capture an aspect of my subject that takes me to an inward place. Looking deeply at the work, an interior buzz - like being between two worlds develops, and shifting emotional shadings emerge. From this intersection, come questions of stories untold, conveyed by eye. Where eyes are not explicitly represented in my work, the portal to other worlds still exists. It is said, “The eyes are the windows to the soul.” Those unafraid to look and contemplate the view will find that place where they recognize the mystery of their humanity.
