16David Starley (Resident Artist)
75 Albert Rd
David is an archaeologist turned professional artist living in Saltaire. He aims to evoke an emotional response to our environment through his art. Oil paint is applied thickly with a knife to produce an almost sculpted image.
Subject matter includes the landscape of Yorkshire and beyond. Trees are the central focus of much of his work. By portraying the forms and character of individual specimens, or groups in woodland, the viewer is led to a greater appreciation of these living structures.
BRADFORD-BASED ARTIST: Our programme always features a wealth of locally-based talent, and we are especially proud to champion local artists this year, as we celebrate Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
