An Amazon Jungle 2010

David Michael Hinnebusch created this large painting, full of gestural marks and vibrant colours. I can imagine him, brush in hand, building up layers, wiping away, and starting again, the canvas becoming a site of restless energy. The painting's surface is alive with drips, scribbles, and bold strokes, each telling a story of action and reaction. Look at the thick, juicy texture of the paint; you can almost feel the artist's hand moving across the canvas. Is that a face, or is it architecture? Maybe both. And what about those calligraphic marks – are they words, or simply gestures? Maybe they are there to add another layer of meaning, another clue to decipher. I bet Hinnebusch was inspired by artists like Basquiat and Twombly. You know, those artists are in an ongoing conversation, inspiring one another's creativity across time. In the end, this painting, "An Amazon Jungle," embraces ambiguity, allowing for multiple interpretations.
