Invoking touch: touchdown (parachute) (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Dean Anthony Brink

33 x 55 x 2cm (unframed) / 33 x 55cm (actual image size)

£1,479.31

One of the first works to turn to human forms after the No More UFOs show (10/2025) focused on life in Taiwan and geopolitics, the inclusion of parachute imagery maintains a connection to these earlier (and ongoing) themes.
Yet here, in 2025, I began to engage feelings of co-presence with others, even when others are not represented within the frame. Lines form connections.
The work is vaguely inspired by one of my favorite charcoal drawings by my mother (and incorporated on the cover of my 2024 poetry collection titled No Time), which depicts two figures facing each other, but one with the head tilted up as if unable to face the other, suggesting complications.
This work explores such interplay between people, a theme central to my current work in 2026.

About
I paint to engage the otherness inherent to being in the world: the canvas provides limits needed, whereas writing poetry spills through its loopholes in all directions. I long for... Read more
