Visionary Landscapes (and other stories) - David Lawrence

Friday 27th Sept - Tuesday 8th Oct 2024

Visionary Landscapes (and other stories) - David Lawrence

An artistic response to living in Richmond and the Dales

There is a strong tradition of Visionary Surrealism that has run through the history of British Art for over a thousand years – it is not true that Surrealism originated in Europe in the early twentieth century – surely it had already been long established here. The English have long had a love of the magical, the strange and the absurd - from the skewed perspective and bizarre, miraculous occurrences in Medieval Illuminations; through William Blake's 'Portrait of a Flea' and Samuel Palmer's 'Magic Apple Tree'; to Stanley Spencer's resurrected villagers & commonplace saints and Kit William's Masquerading Hare. And Surrealism is a tradition that remains alive & well today. 

David's work is rooted in the English Idiom: in its landscape, customs, traditions and eccentricities. This is a place of history and mystery and his work often references past legends and myths – both real and imagined.

David takes inspiration from the Eternal Cycle of the Seasons; from the fight between the Light & Dark; from the Battle of the Field; the twilight world; the subconscious voyage; a world beyond reality.
