Candela (Oxalis) presents a small, luminous oil on linen in which TM Davy renders a flowering oxalis plant with the kind of intimate attention that transforms botanical observation into something quietly devotional. Painted in 2013 and measuring just 25.4 by 20.3 centimeters, the work belongs to a body of small-scale portraiture, both of people and of nature, through which Davy has built a reputation for tenderness and precision. The candlelight suggested by the title suffuses the composition with a warm, interior glow, making the delicate blooms feel simultaneously studied and felt. Davy's practice sits at an unusual intersection of figuration, queer intimacy, and close observation, and this work carries the hallmarks of his most considered paintings. The choice of linen as a support lends a subtle warmth to the ground that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate, and the small format encourages the kind of sustained, near-focused looking that Davy's subjects consistently reward. The oxalis, a genus associated with ephemerality and subtle charm, proves an apt subject for an artist whose work consistently finds significance in the quiet and the overlooked. The painting is signed by the artist and offered in unframed condition, allowing the collector to present it according to their own sensibility. The work ships from Lambertville, New Jersey, and at this scale it travels easily while carrying a presence well beyond what its modest dimensions might suggest.
