David Curtis FROI RSMA

Statement

Essentially a ‘plein-air’ and figurative painter, working in both oils and watercolours. David Curtis observes the transient lighting conditions and effects of atmosphere in his compositions.

Methodology

"David has been investigating space, colour and light in his paintings for many years. His images are varied and intriguing and are often inspired by the landscape and the haunting moods of the sea. He has sought to establish beauty within the world around him through a highly perceptive analysis of the structure found in form, light and colour. His awareness of space and the visual incidents which inhabit that space constantly feature in his work.

Consequently, his paintings have a strong visual presence and enable the spectator to embark on an exciting visual journey.

David's paintings are based on careful pictorial judgements and an acute awareness of the role light plays in the development of atmosphere and visual drama. His highly structured sense of composition, his painterly and imaginative approach all combine to produce pictures which are incisive, dramatic and visually hypnotic."
