A warm welcome to artist David Boardman

 

 

David’s formal education in the arts began at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne College, where he completed an Art and Design foundation course, honing his painting and design skills and cultivating a passion for modern art. He went on to study illustration at Manchester Metropolitan University, earning his degree in 1995.

 

 

David’s work often features abstract shapes and forms, blending figuration with abstraction. His use of geometric shapes is prominent. He was deeply influenced by colour theory, and his works are known for their vibrant and varied use of colour to express mood and emotion. David’s use of line is distinctive, often creating intricate and whimsical patterns. His compositions frequently feature a clear, structured arrangement of elements and are rich in symbolic content, often drawing on music. He also used symbols to convey complex concepts and emotions.


David experimented with depictions of movement and used materials like oil paint and ink to achieve these effects. While not strictly adhering to any single movement, David’s work was influenced by both Surrealism and Expressionism, evident in his use of fantastical imagery and emotional intensity. His artworks often depict fragmented figures and compositions , reflecting his imaginative approach to art.
