Like the impressionists before him to which most of his work is related, David Cain is absorbed by the way in which light at different times of the day transforms the landscape. He is Preoccupied purely by what the eye sees. Indeed, the play of light upon his forms is what structures his canvasses. Some of his pieces are reminiscent of Monet. In Cain's art, nature does not demand that you look or command you, it invites you with a velvety voice to relax and enjoy.
