In HOMINAL’s practice painting functions as a cynosure of installation, sculpture, video,performance and the painted canvas. His diverse practice is deeply rooted in a coherent questioning of the possibilities open to contemporary painting, as well as an awareness of painting’s synaesthetic potential within the realms of music and dance. Subjacent in his oeuvre is a sense of infinite regress and discomfort, where the artist renders physical and three-dimensional the concepts of pictorial and artistic annihilation and dissipation, without however falling into the modernist trap of negation.
On the one hand this spirit of regress encompasses a desire to disrupt the historical stability of pictorial representation, and so counter the stasis of reification of the canvas. Indeed, the artist refers to the desire to negate the object, to dematerialize painting. On the other hand,HOMINAL strives to force the painterly act to be, as artist Martin Kippenberger once said, “beside itself” through a series of operations including infinite dislocations, fragmentations and degradations.

David is an artist /painter on 'speed' – he goes to every show – he reads every book – he goes and see the old masters –He is like a cookie monster in the arts – he thinks to fast, makes to quickly conclusions – to come back on them later – he asks hundred questions and throws all what he saw and knows back into his own work – he re-appropriating the whole Art history - commenting it - doubting about it at every moment of the day.
