David Suff Exhibition @ Dimbola Lodge
Jul 12th, 2009 | By Rian Trim | Isle of Wight News From The Island Pulse
An exhibition of drawings from internationally acclaimed artist David Suff, will be opening on the Isle of Wight in September at Dimbola Lodge.
David Suff: Works on Paper, Friday 18th September – Sunday 1st November 2009.
David Suff specialises in works on paper, and is well-known for his remarkably rich drawings in coloured pencil and for intricate hand-coloured etchings.
These drawings are richly coloured, finely detailed – often mesmerising in their hold of the viewer’s attention.
Suff has a very particular vision – a combination of an introspective and autobiographical truth with a search for a common spiritual enquiry.
There is a contemplative stillness at the heart of Suff’s finest pieces; his patient technique reveals his carefully considered response of eye and hand to the visual world.
“My pictures are based on observational drawing and the landscape, especially gardens. The garden illustrates humankind’s search for the divine. For many the garden is an attempt to have a small glimpse of heaven here on earth.”
