Cley-Next-The-Sea by David Kirk

Born in 1960, David Kirk was brought up in rural Somerset and went on to study at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford, 1980-1983, where he graduated with a degree in Fine Art. The following year he won first prize in the National Religious Painting Competition.

​A professional painter and Head of History of Art at Uppingham School, his work has been exhibited at RONA Gallery, St James's Gallery, Flying Colours Gallery and the Langham Gallery. He is now represented by the Goldmark Gallery. His immaculate, dynamic depictions of the strangely significant happenings set in the English Countryside are widely collected.

​David is continually exploring English landscape and buildings through his art and though he has been influenced by Stanley Spencer and Paul Nash his work displays a highly individual approach.
