About the Artist

​

Born in 1946, David Stanley, is based in the north of England. He has a MA degree from the University of Liverpool. 

​

David’s empirical use of colour and form becomes the very substance and structure of his paintings rather than an illustration of it. Through the layering of fine glazes over expressive painterly marks, each layer defining and shaping the next, David reinforces the structure of the painting itself, revealing the heart and interior of each work.

​

His exploratory and instinctive process of working creates a strong sense of atmosphere within each work. His ability to reach a harmonic balance of colour and form is reflected in their profound levels of interpretation. Extending far beyond their surface beauty, David Stanley’s paintings immerse us into landscapes of intense colour and light.

​

In the late nineties David Stanley won the Daler/Rowney Award for Best British Artist at the NAPA exhibition at the Westminster Gallery, London, which helped to reinforce his career both in the UK and abroad.

​

David has shown work in prestigious galleries in London, New York, Palm Beach and Stuttgart.

‘My current work explores ideas of time, memory, perception and conscious and unconscious thought.’
