Nathan Cash Davidson’s rich, narrative-packed paintings pluck influences from the Old Masters – with historical figures often rerouted via modern waxworks, or photographs of costumed actors in theatre productions – sci-fi, dreams, and history. Meshing multiple scenes and characters together, the works have a hallucinogenic feel, with multiple perspectives and stories unfolding within a single canvas. Nobody Can Stop The Wooden Top Boy presents a scene from a surreal fairy-tale written by the artist. A stag half-grimaces, half-grins at a stern old woman emerging like an apparition beside a waterfall; with its mythic edge, vivid colour and mysterious, visionary quality, the work epitomises the gleeful picaresque of Davidson’s painted world.
