Stemming from an idea that began taking shape 11 years ago, David A Pinegar’s photographs present a new and immediate way of seeing. The subjects in David’s pictures are everyday, objects found around the house, but through the discovery of a new method of intensifying colour and light, his pictures present an original view of reality.
Wall of Colour is David’s first series of fine art photographs and will be exhibiting at 60 Threadneedle Street until January 2015. A commercial photographer for 30 years, David’s abstract work provides a platform for him to manipulate the powerful elements that lay behind and attracted him to his previous pictures – light, texture and colour.
Painting’ with these elements, David’s subjects are carefully constructed before the picture is taken, allowing each component to be completely absorbed by the lens. The result is a series of photographs that present a completely unique viewpoint, one that reveals the bewitching power of magnified vision.
Many of the prints stretch to 3 metres wide – David’s works are incredibly commanding of space and, in his own words, “radiate a willingness to communicate”. It is this openness to communication that makes David’s pictures so inviting, uplifting in colour and illuminatingly bright; ideal for their current corporate space.
