An exhibition of Light & Movement, Dance & Landscape.
The Hyde Gallery is thrilled to present David Cottingham and his new body of work “Art in Motion”.
Particularly as this wonderful gallery gives a chance for me to connect to my local audience and also offers me a rare opportunity to reveal the inspiration behind this exciting new “Mythology”series and say something of the working methods involved.
I set out to combine my two distinct styles of painting, the figurative dance pieces with the abstract colour paintings and I hope you will enjoy the results. I look forward to meeting you there.
“Light moves across a Landscape like the Dancer moves through Space”
David Cottingham is a London-based artist who has developed a unique body of work on the themes of Dance and Landscape Abstraction in the media of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture. David studied at St Martins School of Art, London, under Philip King RA, William Tucker and Sir Anthony Caro. He has exhibited international including New York, Chicago, London, Beirut and Rome. His work is also held in various private collections worldwide.
“I believe in painting and drawing as a vehicle for a poetic and evocative expression of the world, I want to create an art of richness, spontaneity, sensuality and style. My work focuses on the two great themes of art – the human body and landscape. It draws on many influences from nature to dance, photography, astronomy and music.”
