'How Times Have Gone' by David Abbott
'How Times Have Gone'
2022
Acrylic on birch panel
23.5 x 40 cm
£550 framed
David (b. 1981) lives and works in Bristol. As a teenager he moved with his family in 1995 to Virginia, USA, where he attended high school and then studied Fine Art at James Madison University. David later returned to the UK and completed his MA in Multidisciplinary Printmaking at The University of the West of England.
David uses paint, collage, and drawing to explore the intersection of the natural world and human activity within the landscape. His deep landscapes evoke a spirit place where the land, natural world, present moment, history, folk, and personal memory all corral together. The inputs may be mundane or transcendent, but the created moment is a quiet, focused expansion of reality out of which all the work gets made. David is interested in folk song and lore, how it locates and defines people inside a landscape, and centres them – through the evocations of folk memory – when outside it.
