Differing Shades Painting

David Hardy is a multidisciplinary artist based in West Wales, creating artworks from the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains. He studied Fine Art at Winchester School of Art and after graduating moved to London where his work spanned graphic design, photography and painting. After working at The Royal Society of Arts and London College of Fashion as resident graphic designer David moved to Hastings to focus on his photography and painting. Now working and living & working from a converted barn in Wales, David takes inspiration from his surroundings. Often referencing the landscape, found forms and photography as starting points. By using a reduced palette he creates work that focuses on depth, tone & texture without the distraction of colour. "I want my paintings to show simplicity and struggle at the same time, as there are no logical meanings or definition behind the paintings."
