David Parkinson: Secrets


June14th - July20th

The artist David Parkinson gathers information through questionnaires and written statements to investigate facets of people's identities and personality. He then combines the information gathered with his creativity to represent the intangible through a visual language.

The body of work currently being exhibited Secrets is an attempt to look at the darker side of human nature. David Parkinson states "I wanted to look at people's darker sides of their personality and decided the best way would be to collect people's secrets and try and interpret onto canvass their attempts to cover up and hide them from over people."

This work combines a number of techniques and methods in painting to achieve the idea behind the concept, the result is a very contemporary and raw body of work.
