Born and educated in Cheshire, David has had no formal art school training yet his work betrays a painterly technique. The application of paint is bold, decisive and effective. His main concentration is contemporary landscape, achieving a semi-abstract/part representational composition. Inspiration comes from his many walks and visits abroad which he sketches then re-assess the subject he has seen in the studio. Accident and chance play a role in the process. By applying blocks of colour in such a way as to ‘suggest’ parts of the landscape he stimulates the onlooker’s imagination to interpret the landscape in a different way. Recently he has been looking at ‘candid’ figure subjects. David is continually moving boundaries in his work by keeping the process in a state of flux. To date he has exhibited successfully in solo and group exhibitions in numerous galleries also achieving recognition in:- Laings Regional Finalist, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Finalist. Work in private collections throughout United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.
