David Armitage Abstractionist Painter Solo Show at the Modern Artists Gallery Berkshire April 2010
Inspired by the music of classical composers including Bruckner, Nono and Janacek, Songlines is the result of 25 years experimentation as David Armitage explored ways in which to express emotional response to complex musical score. The result is a breath-taking display of colour fusion. Armitage's unique and stunning collection of paintings on canvas explore the inner relationship between music and painting.
"The paintings are in a state of flux - in the sense, if you turned
round and looked at the other wall then turned back, the whole thing
might have changed.” David Armitage
David Armitage has lived in the UK since 1974. He is married to Ronda
Armitage writer & creator of the renown modern classics series The Lighthouse
Keeper's books for children.
Alan Woods - writer and critic
David's ambition is to create paintings that are loved and lived with, that contribute to daily life. There is a darkness to them, often, an emotional complexity - but he always speaks of pleasure of colours, of brushmarks, of a wordless engagement with the richness of paintings and objects....or, as somebody once said ( or something rather like it) 'painting is about painting, everything else is about everything else.'
