Dave Gibbons

Having worked in Film and Television as a Matte Painter (both
traditional and digital), David has returned to practicing painting
and drawing. His most recent body of work explores landscapes,
Inspired predominantly by the vast mountainous region of Otago in New
Zealand, but also by regions of England.

He paints in oil from sketches and memory, and the intent is that the
works are more an emotive response to a place rather than a direct
representation. His drawings and paintings convey an immediacy, an
urgency both of technique and intent.

When discussing his work, David emphasises the moment of the present
and that the works are very much contemporary, despite traditional
materials and subject matter.
