Expressing Lighting Conditions
International Artist|June - July 2019

The panoramic cityscapes of David Earle are explorations of light and colour

Expressing Lighting Conditions

The most notable aspect of my work is the way I portray light in vivid street scenes and vistas overlooking the city. I am mainly interested in exploring light and colour. Colour is light and is thus subjective to changing light conditions. This interest draws me to depict scenes at dawn or dusk, which enables me to capture the dramatic change in light at this time of day. My style is influenced by a broad range of artists who are all interested in how we see the world relative to changing light conditions. These include Claude Lorrain, Hasegawa Tohaku, Charles- François Daubigny and J.M.W. Turner. Josef Albers is someone who is currently at the forefront of my mind. I particularly like his statement, “The aim of our studies is to prove that colour is the most relative means of artistic expression that we never really perceive what colour is physically.”
