SHOREWARD Mull
Presenting the new collection by the award-winning Scottish Artist, David Page.
A captivating collection of paintings, depicting the beauty of Mull as observed from the sea.
About the Artist
David Page is a former architect, having run his own practice (Page/Park Architects) in Glasgow. Today, he is a full-time artist.
David works out of his studio in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull for much of the year. He also spends time in Kells, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. This gives him the opportunity to observe two different landscapes: the brutal elegance of the West Coast Scotland versus the gentle undulating hills and field patterns of Ulster.
His acrylic works on canvas have garnered recognition, highlighted by his recent solo exhibition "Highland Colours" at The Briggait, Glasgow, in 2023, and his achievement as the winner of the Highland Art Prize in 2022.
David's Artistic Process
David employs unconventional techniques such as layering, pouring, throwing, and spreading paint.
He scrapes back through layers to reveal diverse colours and textures, then redistributes the unearthed masses across the canvas.
David explains, "I am watching for the moment when it works, when the chaotic energy leaves a mark that resembles places visited or experienced, around which the final image can evolve."
