The Neo-Romantics

David is a contemporary artist who draws inspiration from the age of “Neo-Romanticism“, which emerged strongly in the period from about 1880 – 1910, in Britain.

The basic tenets of this period is believing that art is essential to humanity and that art can drive change in society

His work has also been described as “surreal“, but David does not feel that description is entirely accurate…

Dali-esque?

“Quite often I hear people refer to Dali when describing my work, and while I am obviously flattered, I see very few similarities.

I feel my work is much more grounded in the reality around us… with a few subtle twists and turns perhaps, but I don’t feel it ever really moves that far into the realm of the surreal.”

Artist’s Perspective

“I strive to maintain a strong tie to reality, so the viewer can relate to what they see. But I also want to give them enough rope to swing out into the abyss. Only then can they allow themselves to get lost in that place they find depicted in the work.”

“Giving them that ‘lifeline’ allows them to experience deep emotion, while also feeling secure in a moment of vulnerability”. Without that moment, art does not exist.”
