David Mankin discusses the inspiration, process and journeys behind the paintings in his 2023 solo exhibition at Cornwall Contemporary gallery in Penzance.
Thank you David for that tour of your exhibition and giving us viewers insight into your thought process ! It is great to see it as a whole & you get a better idea of the sheer size & scale too. Beautiful work and detail, i could get lost in your work. It emanates great dynamism & energy due to those sweeping brush strokes & mark making ! Fantastic exhibition ❤.
Congratulations David on perhaps the most stunning exhibition I have seen. I only discovered your work quite recently and was very excited to hear you talk about your work and the stories and inspiration behind these beautiful paintings.
Wonderful to hear from David about the processes and thinking behind his fabulous paintings from the Voyages series. Really enjoyed watching the film having seen the work earlier in the week. Congratulations on an inspirational and emotive exhibition!
Fabulous work David. We’ve had two lovely holidays in Perranuthnoe and each time I come away with sketches and photographs of such special places; memories of a clouded yellow butterfly on Cudden point, lapping waves at the edge of Mounts Bay, fabulous walks along the same paths that you tread. Blazing sunset behind St Michael’s Mount etc etc. Your art really speaks to me… thank you for sharing your inspiration and process. Mick. 😊
Amazing !!! thank you for sharing David I could feel the emotion in every painting. I just love your work. Would love to see an exhibition one day. Thanks Trish
