Acrylic

w - 53cm x h - 66cm (Framed)

David Brooke was born in Somerset but now lives in Dorset. He attended Yeovil School of Art (1972-75) and Hull College of Art (1975-78), where he obtained a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design.

Themes for David's paintings often originate from mythology, although interpreted and embellished by his imagination, sometimes the pictures create the feeling of myth or folk-tale although not based on any actual story. There is often something of a humorous or quirky nature about his work. His earlier works are oil paintings on either board or canvas; in 1994 he changed to acrylic paint first on canvas and more recently on paper. During his career David has produced numerous pen and ink drawings and occasionally he works with oil pastels, and more recently has been producing a number of coloured pencil drawings.
