Exhibition of Artist Dave King
King, originally a student of art schools both in Cardiff and Chelsea, taught art and photography for 30 years.
With multiple exhibitions across the UK over the years, King is now a resident of the Algarve and will be having will be having his fifth show of work in the Algarve here at the MARLO showroom.
King clearly has been influenced from multiple artistic genres, and takes joy in bringing them together. The seemingly simplistic shapes and arrangements within these paintings do not come from a Pop Art or cartooning tradition but are a result of improvised drawing – ‘playing’ with line. The process is a ‘game’ of lining things up and jig-sawing shapes together. Dave’s interest in Abstraction and Cubism ultimately dictates the outcome.
The subject matter is recognisable but he deals with these subjects purely in terms of their shape and colour.
The works do not depict any particular place but allow the viewer to recognise objects and scenes from their own memories.
Vernissage: Friday the 30th of August 5-8pm
The exhibition will be on display until October.
Held at the MARLO Outdoor Furniture Showroom. Welcome to all. Drinks will be served.
