‘Light’ is traditionally the subject of choice for the work of artists throughout the ages. Light conveys richness and depth, at its best connecting viewer with artist and nature itself. For me the making of a picture is a quest to, in part, to amplify that connection.

  

Curriculum Vitae

David Lake 

Born Adelaide 1948.  Works from home and studio in Longford, Tasmania.Sketched from early age.  From 1964 served five year apprenticeship in Sydney as Lithographic Dot Etcher and Retoucher (soon to be defunct trade requiring fine brush work, knowledge of tone and colour relationship).  1984 - Initiated a NSW regional newspaper using illustration in preference to photographs. Advertisements were all drawn (having noted in earlier years that advertising agencies’ ‘artists roughs’ were more attractive than the final printed advertisement). First put brush to canvas in Brisbane in March 2004 and though a little guidance was given by a Bosnian artist Alma Sarac, no formal art tuition has been taken. In same year set out to paint 13 portraits of people engaged in their occupations; In March 2005 held first solo exhibition ‘Fine Folk’. Then Qld Minister for Arts, Anna Bligh, took interest in the work and opened the exhibition. Passionate about painting, when first engaged the choice was made to turn mind entirely to the craft. Within a short period painting became the only source of income. Though landscape has been the subject in general, the play of light inspires; silence is of primary interest.
