The Landscape Art of David O'Connor FRSA

165. Cranbourne Chase 2014 61x48cm acrylic on canvas - David O'Connor

David O’Connor Artist

“David O’Connor describes his paintings as ‘direct and intuitive.’ His use of colour is fresh and original and his mark-making holds great appeal. He is also fascinated by mapmaking and the dichotomy between the changing and the timeless nature of landscape.”

– Anna Powell Director Sladers Yard Gallery​

“After achieving a first-class degree in Fine Art, David spent two years at the Slade School of Fine Art, completing a post-graduate Diploma. Since then he has combined a successful career as a sculptor and painter with numerous solo shows, residencies and commissions combined with a career in teaching in Further and Higher education, mainly in the South West. His distinctive paintings are informed by the Wiltshire and Dorset landscape.”

– Sally Coelho Hadfield Fine Art

“His landscapes are based in Southwest England in particular Wiltshire and Dorset. They are the perfectly balanced point between abstraction and observed landscape painting. There is the trace of many layers and fine lines within the work, combined with the glorious pallet of vivid greens and sunny yellows making joyous viewing.”

– Kate Anniss Director Mylo Art
