British Contemporary Artist: David Cobley

Painting: Calling the Shots

David Cobley is now well established as a superb portrait artist. His serene and reflective paintings of the female nudes demonstrate outstanding mastery of paint, tone and composition. But David is equally talented as a successful artist of Still Life and Landscape paintings.

''Calling the Shots'' illustrates David Cobley''s accomplished use of light and shade to create a sense of texture and atmosphere in his work. Cobley describes this process as, ''Using the effects of light, painting can create the illusion of solid form in space; while at the same time blur distinctions between the two''¦ In the half-light between highlight and shadow, painting offers the tantalising possibility of drama, intrigue and magic."

The muted palette and the carefully balanced composition used in ''Calling the Shots'' add to this beautiful study in light, shade and form.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery David Cobley has exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the David Cobley artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
