David Phillips – Dusk talking

As I grew up in rural Wales I often return to images of these hills in my work. I believe we have still to resolve an understanding of nature that balances the emotional responses of the Romantic movement with the pragmatic forces of realism and modernity. In particular, my paintings are influenced by the landscape painters of the 17th century, especially Nicolas Poussin, Claude Lorrain and the now little-regarded artists Gaspard Dughet and Crescenzio Onofri.
