'Golden Gala', acrylic on canvas, 100 cm x 140 cm, signed, 20 dated, verso titled and dated 2021.
As a young artist, David Tollmann is gaining notoriety primarily through Art Karlsruhe (2019). Although Tollmann is a third-generation artist, unlike his father and grandfather he was not educated as an artist in the classical sense, but acquired his own colourful and modern style as an autodidact. The international galleries that represent him, always refer to his pleasure in painting. This can be seen in the motifs, which are laid out with strong colours and abstracted, graphic-geometric forms. There are also references to styles of earlier art history, such as Cubism, Pop Art or the typical manner of portrait painting. Just, as we can see, in the large format 'Golden Gala', the portrait of a young woman is brought onto the canvas in a contemporary way.
