the art of turning and encourages every member to improve their

MARCH 2010
DAVE
TRIBE
BORN AND
BRED IN SUTTON.
LARGELY SELF
TAUGHT BUT ALSO TUTORED AT SCOLA FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
THIS
EXHIBITION SHOWS THE VERSATILITY POSSIBLE WITH OILS AND THAT PAINTING
CAN BE EXPERIMENTAL, SERIOUS OR FUN
Dave is retired and has
lots of time to paint. He is currently
Co-Chairman and Programme Secretary of the
sixty year old Epsom and Ewell Art Group.
He
started painting in oils in 1953, but has only really developed his
style and very wide range of subject matter over the past 15
years. This was after a career in the manufacturing industry.
Although he will paint anything
– ranging from conventional landscapes, portraits and still life
– his favourite subjects, probably influenced by his
background, are urban landscapes with an industrial flavour often including
clearly defined perspective elements.
He seeks out unusual compositions,
always attempting to include the ‘wow factor’ to ensure that viewers
will always stop to take a second look. He
has just recovered from a love affairs with Battersea Power Station
and the Tate Modern building, but has now moved on to alley-ways (the
views that most of us walk past without a second glance).
He has exhibited, and sold
work, widely, including the Mall Galleries and Bankside Gallery in London
where he, last year, won a prize in a National exhibition for the over
60s..
By way of complete change,
he also produces humorous parodies of some of the iconic impressionist
paintings – the contrast can be seen on
www.david.tribe.btinternet.co.uk.
where about half the paintings shown have been sold He admires talents as diverse
as Patrick Caulfield, Tracey Emin, David Hockney and Ken Howard and
visits most new exhibitions in London -
getting maximum mileage from his Freedom Pass!
