Dave Hancock’s work is about hidden intimate spaces. Dave finds these spaces in his studies of the ocean and his beloved Gloucestershire orchard.

His fish series explores the intimacy and dynamism of the shoal; whilst his tree series is a deeply intimate study of the friends that make up his orchard. In both collections you can see Dave’s mastery of colour and texture. The paint is built up through many complimentary and contrasting colour layers to create a powerful and subtle work.

Dave studied at Cheltenham Art College, University of Gloucestershire. He began his career as a craftsman creating sculpture and furniture, from this it was a natural progression to his painting of nature. His work is exhibited internationally and recently won much acclaim in Beijing.
