David John Hilditch allows paint to have a life of its own, creating
complex and abstract environments where ideas of reality can emerge and
transform free from the moorings of time, space and causality. This freedom is
explored through the language of clouds in flux, hints of facial structures,
abstract textures and forms from nature.
Inspired by the masters of figurative oil painting and the writings of
modern western philosophers, his watercolours and large scale oils reflect on
perception, impermanence and identity in a way that is deep, engaging and open
to endless interpretation.
David was born in Wolverhampton in 1951, received his foundation in
Birmingham and Fine Art Degree from. Camberwell School of Art. Following a
career teaching Art and Design he now pursues an interest in Philosophy and
paints full-time from studios in London and Shropshire.
