David Body

DAVID BODY is a professional potter who is devoting an increasing amount of time to painting.    Born in Twickenham in 1947, he now lives in Caithness where he has run a pottery since 1977 while at the same time continuing to paint. David originally trained as an illustrator and working in London as a graphic designer has probably had the biggest influence on his work as a painter. Changing from painting naturalistically to a more abstract style, his images have evolved over the years and are now more graphic in appearance. The Highland landscape is his main source of inspiration, and he now interprets this using stylised and colourful compositions. In Caithness the landscape and weather are all pervasive. Selected elements are used to express the feeling of terrain, weather and light conditions.
