Landscape in Oil on Canvas

David Gloman is an oil painter who lives in Northampton and works in the nearby countryside. Gloman paints on location using a box truck as shelter. Working from the truck allows him to capture the Connecticut Valley's distinctive landscapes and lighting throughout the year.

His paintings represent a synthesis of present and past experiences. They are images of where he is in the world at a specific moment, both literally and metaphorically. Gloman's love of being outdoors is closely connected to his attraction to landscape painting. He is the recipient of many prestigious national awards.

Artist's Statement
My paintings represent a synthesis of present and past experiences. These paintings are images of where I am in the world at a specific moment, both literally and metaphorically. I hope to capture my relationship to the world by exploring and giving from the space between myself and objects. I am trying to paint what is not there. They are not paintings of ideas rather paintings of direct experience. They are more about the journey of looking rather than the complete end result of looking -- conscious rather than self-conscious.
