Huyton Gallery presents this exciting, first solo exhibition of work by artist David Holmes. His work has previously been exhibited throughout Merseyside and the UK as part of group shows. He likes to move between different mediums and processes, mainly through digital imaging, traditional printmaking and papermaking.

The main subject of his work is focused on visual culture. We all have access to images everywhere, and David uses this access as a source of inspiration, whether it be digital or from his collection of resource images and photographs. These visual references can become ideas for artworks which present narratives that depict a past, present, or even conjured-up events constructed from the acquired imagery. Artefacts, sketches, graphics and personal photographs are brought together and manipulated to create an imagined world.

The images or elements act as pictorial or vague representations with symbolic meaning to develop and illustrate the narrative.

Through constant additions and layering, his digital prints evolve from the construction and organisation of elements utilising digital techniques that are sometimes akin to effects that he uses in traditional printmaking.

Event Date: Monday 14th August 2017 - Saturday 28th October 2017
