David Bromley (1960)
Over The Fence
The Threshold of Curiosity.
David Bromley occupies a unique space between Pop Art and nostalgic narrative. He transforms the aesthetics of mid-century illustration into monumental fine art, stripping away the cynicism often found in contemporary painting.
Over The Fence is a massive canvas (1.8 meters wide) that commands the room. The composition—children peering over a boundary—serves as a visual metaphor for the transition between innocence and experience, the known and the unknown. Bromley’s use of polymer paint creates a luminous, synthetic surface that feels modern, while the subject remains timeless.
Why it matters: A "Statement Piece" with high visual impact. At this size, Bromley offers an immersive experience of color and narrative. It is a study in joy and curiosity, rendered on an architectural scale.
