David Dent

Born 18/11/1959 Solihull.
Raised in semi rural South Wales and became fascinated by Horses at an early age; they are the main subjects of my work. Along with brother Adrian, we exhibited regularly in London for many years(Harrods; Cork st., Dover St., Mall Galleries etc) though have concentrated on exhibiting at our own Racecourse Galleries (Chepstow; Cheltenham; St.Moritz; Punchestown; Pardubice (Cz Rep) etc)in recent years.

Inspired by horses and in particular the National Hunt subject. Our work is in the collections of the Saudi Royal Family, The Ceska Pojestovna collection in Prague; and many owners trainers and jockeys including Christophe Soumillon, Richard Hughes; Micheal O'Leary (Ryan Air); Sir Mark Prescott; Paul Nicholls; J.P.McManus; Lady Herries and Francois Doumen. Corporate clients have included Vodafone and BMW.

Recently I have also focussed on painting and photography of the female form and in particular relating to fashion.I have also designed my own couture collection for ladies
