David Cheepen Artist West Cornwall
 |
Born in 1946, David spent
his childhood and adolescence in the suburbs of north-west
London, where his external environment was as influential to
his later artistic development as was Shoreham for Samuel
Palmer and Cookham for Stanley Spencer. Impressions and
feelings experienced during his suburban wanderings inspired
many pencil drawings and led him to teach himself to paint.
His early influences included the painters Caspar David
Friedrich and Giorgio de Chirico. He lived and worked in
Hertfordshire from 1969 to 2002 when he relocated to
Cornwall.
Since 1967, David has taken part in over eighty solo, group and mixed exhibitions in Britain and abroad, and from 1975 his work has been exhibited regularly at London’s Portal Gallery (www.portal-gallery.com) where he has held eight one-man shows. |
Over four hundred of his meticulous acrylic paintings are in private collections worldwide. His work has been reviewed and reproduced in many newspapers, magazines and books, and has been featured on BBC TV.
During the past four years, David’s
explorations of the timeless landscape and enigmatic antiquities of West
Penwith have led him to produce a series of pictures, each of which depicts
a specific aspect of this enchanted land.
