Johnny Cash Painting

David's main aim as an artist is to create artwork that the genenal public can find accessible, though appreciating the conceptual art movement that has been dominant in the last twenty years he sees that for many people some of the concepts would be a little hard to grasp and possibly elitist. Living with, and working alongside fine art students throughout his degree David had the opportunity see how the fine art world works, visiting exhibitions and seeing his fellow students handling the ever changing art scene. He strives to find a common ground between the conceptual artworld and the everyday life. David's love of music and fascination of pop culture naturally progressed as he combines the two within his artwork, creating bright, stylized portaits of musicians for mass consumption, easily recognised and accessible. first exhibition "˜Demons' 2004 focused on musicians that had used their inner torment to create and was greatly received within the local art community and after that the commissions came rolliing in. Twelve years on, and after several successful exhibitions, He has developed a strong client base and feels confident working alongside fine artists, though due to the highly stylized nature of his work he will always consider himself to be an illustrator. www.davidhart78@facebook.com
