"Between Headlands”
Our beaches lie between Headlands.
The Harbour Entrance is Between Headlands.
We live-commute and play Between Headlands.
Our Coast is made up of Headlands and Between…
David is a Sydney based artist with a studio in North Head. David has grown up around Sydney’s harbour and beaches. Surfing and exploring the natural beauty and wealth of his home and surrounding coast and country.
Most of his painting and drawing are created in the landscape or Plein air. “It seems like a natural progression as an artist to paint and produce work in the landscape given that that is where I have always spent my time”. Painting on site on the beaches, the harbour, the bush and out in the country is a response to the subject before him. In the moment, the movement of the water, the energy and theatre of the beach, the bridge, the harbour, the silence and power of the land and bush.
“When you connect with the subject and bypass thought, painting is a special thing. It gets you closer”. DW
