The Art Of David Whitfield.
Getting into an artist’s head is always interesting, and the best way to do that is by observing their works. With a look, it is possible to find any kind of thought process that defines a person. With artist David Whitfield, the art that he creates brings to mind a sort of organized chaos. Surreal paintings give the viewer an idea that Whitfield sees the world through glasses that are far different from their own. A flow of consciousness is brought together on the canvas that represents all of life happening at once. In the artist words, his “main preoccupation of inspiration is the hidden psych of a human being and the behavioral interactions between individuals and groups.
What really goes on behind a smiling face, and why do people behave as they do?”
David Whitfield was born in the northeast of England and studied at Sunderland College of Art. He has traveled through Europe, Africa and Middle East, exploring and experiencing different cultures. The Bedouin in Saudi Arabia, local villagers in Sudan, Nigeria and Libya. His great insight into the human psyche and behavioral patters derives from his past experience as a psychiatric nurse. After taking early retirement Whitfield moved to the country side of France to a beautiful setting of vineyards and quiet lands. Once in France, his artistic expression turn to writing as well, and he has published a book entitled “Another Eye”. Although one might say, that the artist’s favorite way of self expression is undoubtedly painting.
