British Contemporary Artist: David Cobley

Painting: Baroque

''Baroque'' is a quiet celebration of the beauty of the human form. Using light and shade to highlight each vertebrae in his model''s back David Cobley creates an atmospheric painting.

He says: "My paintings are almost entirely about the figure - the human form as it is illuminated, as well as concealed, by the light that falls upon it or around it. 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. The medium of paint also enables another kind of illusion to come into play - that of the figure emerging from, yet dissolving into, the pigment which gives it life. In the half-light between highlight and shadow, painting offers the tantalising possibility of drama, intrigue and magic."

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.
