About the artist

David J. Folley M.A. – Born England 1972

David Folley’s paintings are difficult to pin down. They are avant- garde, traditional, figurative abstractions, the one absolute being their very individual style.

This latest collection of paintings combines two of Folley’s loves: the sea and the experimentation of manipulating paint upon the canvas

On one Level he is essentially an “English” Painter, although closer inspection reveals facets of other influences drawn from a wide spectrum of Art History. David’s paintings are in response to his desire to continue painting different styles including figurative, landscape and abstract works.

Folley’s work is represented in private, corporate and Institutional collections worldwide. David lectures on Art History and the methodology of Painting.
