David Starley

 
“By portraying the forms and character of individual trees, or groups of trees in woodland, the viewer is led to a greater appreciation of these living structures – changeless yet changing, strong yet vulnerable; never to be taken for granted.”
 

David Starley is an archaeologist turned professional artist, based in Saltaire, West Yorkshire. He aims to evoke an emotional response to our environment through his art. 

Oil paint is applied thickly with a knife to produce an almost sculpted image.

Subject matter includes the landscape of Yorkshire and beyond. In recent years, trees have become the central focus of his work. By portraying the forms and character of individual specimens, or groups in woodland, the viewer is led to a greater appreciation of these living structures – changeless yet changing, strong yet vulnerable; never to be taken for granted.

David Currently runs The Bingley Gallery, which incorporates his studio and promotes the work of the region’s talented artists
