About the artwork
In his Gold series, David Bromley depicts light, using gold to provide physical substance for such an important part of the painting, in a way that it becomes a source of light itself and at the same time reflects the environment's. The shade of gold that the artist collectively chooses gives a sentiment of the last moments of the day, when the sun is still shining but not with the heat of the midday. A scene that narrates pureness of youth, within a subtle composition and collective choice of colors.
