Born 19th February 1971 Dave first went to art school at the age of 16.
Even before starting his degree, Dave had secured his first solo exhibition before he was 18. Thanks to critical acclaim from Adrian Henri, Liverpool’s beloved poet and artist, word quickly spread. His premier solo exhibition was a complete sell out and he was awarded ‘Best New Talent in Visual Arts’.
3 years and one degree later, after being lucky enough to paint in John Lennon’s old studios, Dave’s work was quickly picked up by galleries and he was exhibiting alongside the likes of Hockney and Piccaso in the west end of London and at international art fairs. Today there are over 200 works in private collections worldwide.
Pursuing his other love as a scratch DJ Dave spent a few years with break beat band Surreal Madrid, touring Europe and playing many a festival alongside the likes of the Basement Jaxx and Fatboy Slim to name but a few. Live sessions on BBC Radio One and recording at Maida Vale were just some of the highlights.
After going back to the studio and launching this site in Jan 03 Dave has been lucky enough to exhibit worldwide and work with the best in the business. Thanks to the support of sneaker headz and art lovers Dave’s work is reaching new audiences every day. Press have been keen to pick up on his unique style of sneaker art and Dave has been working with international galleries keen to expand their audience with his pop art sneaker portraits.
Forthcoming international exhibitions, appearances, collaborations and product launches will all feature in the news section so please check back for more details.
