David Morgan
Landscape Artist
(b.1947) Southampton, England

David Morgan trained at the Southampton College of Art and Design. Upon completion of his studies, he decided to travel extensively through Western Europe to gain artistic experience. He lived in Paris for some time, where he gained the confidence and ability which makes his work outstanding amongst his contemporaries.

Only a few artists can emulate his gift for distance, detail and lighting in his superb landscapes of rural England. His almost photographic quality manages to take you into the painting, as though you are participating in the view.

So compelling is his work that his reputation has extended far beyond his Hampshire roots. Whether it is a view of Exmoor, Yorkshire or the Hampshire Downs, one can easily recognise the locality by the accuracy and sympathetic interpretation in his work.

Two decades of successful painting for him have resulted in many highly-praised exhibitions in some of the country’s most prestigious galleries.

The Colomb Art Gallery currently has a number of original oil paintings by David Morgan
