DAVID ATKINS : 4 – 21 March 2025

When you first see David Atkin’s work, his seascapes capture a quintessentially British scene, a real experience of the yellow sands, and big grey blue skies. Yet his more southern European street scenes and cafés have that beautiful feeling of warmth, the balmy evening, the alfresco dining, the bustle of a piazza, reminding you of the great Impressionists.

Whilst both the streets and the sands have different lights, colours and feel; the integrity David captures is at the heart of what he does. You can imagine yourself, feel the wind and the cold waters of the UK, and the relaxed, people watching, time rich experience of café culture, easy strolls, discoveries, architecture and holidays. Both are about a sense of place, and a feeling of escapism.  

“For me, painting is about capturing a feeling. In this new body of work, I aimed to respond to and recollect these experiences, expressing the sheer thrill and inspiration they bring. These pieces are a celebration of being alive and embracing the beauty of the world around me.” David Atkins, 2025
