David Thomas
Small jug and painting
About the artist
David Thomas was born four doors down from the famous art deco Hoover factory in Perivale, Middlesex in 1953 and has lived and worked in Yorkshire since 1989.
He produces paintings and drawings mostly on a still life theme. He spends as much time as possible paying close attention to things of little account.
“I’m fascinated by the process of authentication and signification that objects go through before being accepted into a collection or grouping; how we make judgments between importance and insignificance. I value painting and drawing as a means of ordering rather than just recording the visual. And for the way in which they present a more true way of understanding than that offered by ‘the dull certainty of words’.”
